Australian Made announces a new Director

The Australian Made Campaign today announced the appointment of a new Director to its board, Ms Nicki Anderson.

Ms Anderson will perform her role alongside her daily duties as Managing Director of Demo Plus, the largest sampling, demonstration and events organisation in Australia. 

The Board of Directors selected Ms Anderson based on her knowledge and understanding of the Australian manufacturing sector and extensive experience in marketing fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs).

Previous roles include Marketing Director for Kraft Foods, Marketing & Innovation Director for SPC Ardmona & McCain Foods and General Manager Beverage Marketing for Cadbury Schweppes Australia.

"We are very pleased that Nicki has agreed to join the Board at this exciting time for the logo. We are truly fortunate to have someone of Nicki’s calibre join the team,” Australian Made Campaign Chairman, David Gray, said.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Australian Made Campaign’s Board of Directors,” Ms Anderson said.
