Whittaker’s is pleased to announce the appointment of Soraya Cottin as Whittaker’s new Chief Marketing Officer, who brings significant international marketing experience working with primary global food and other consumer brands.
Whittaker’s Co-Chief Operating Officer Holly Whittaker said this key appointment, coupled with Whittaker’s recent appointment of its new creative agency, Bastion Shine, is an essential milestone for the brand.
“Soraya brings an international perspective to how we continue to build Whittaker’s reputation for making world-class chocolate from right here in New Zealand and being responsive to Whittaker’s Chocolate Lovers here as well as in other markets,” stated Whittaker.
Before joining Whittaker’s this month, Soraya worked in senior executive roles in various agencies, most recently for Paris-based communications agency DDB. From France and fluent in both English and French, Soraya has also worked in agency roles in the UK and has previously spent time in New Zealand with her partner, who is from Wellington.
“While this appointment reflects Whittaker’s ability to attract international talent, we’re also pleased that Soraya’s connection to Wellington, the home of Whittaker’s, has also helped us decide to move here an easy one.”
