Cowan makes two new hires
Design company Cowan has appointed Vivienne Ringersma and Hanika Gomez to lead its Nestle account.
The announcement:
Leading Australian branding and design company Cowan has announced two new appointments to its Nestle client service team in Sydney: Account Director Vivienne Ringersma and Account Executive Hanika Gomez.
Ringersma will manage key account The Nestle Food Division, working closely with Nestle to manage the design process for a number of its major FMCG sub-brands, and ensuring a smooth and effective production process with Cowan.
Ringersma has a long history with Cowan internationally, working across the agency’s Sydney, Melbourne and London offices over her five years with the business.
In her career with Cowan she has been awarded four promotions within client services and has worked across key Cowan accounts including Fosters, Birds Eye and Nestle.
Ringersma managed the Carlton Dry relaunch for Fosters in 2009, and earlier, the entire portfolio redesign for the Yoplait kids and desserts category in 2005. She moves to Sydney after her previous role in the Melbourne agency.
Account Executive Hanika Gomez will assist Ringersma on the Nestle account.
Gomez joins Cowan from a magazine marketing background. She has a career history of campaign management, events and sponsorship. Prior to joining Cowan, Gomez was a promotions executive with XYZ Networks.
General Manager Chris White said “We are delighted to introduce Vivienne and Hanika to our Nestle accounts team. Nestle is one of Cowan Sydney’s key accounts and we are certain that Vivienne’s client management skills and agency experience will prove beneficial to Nestle, plus Hanika will bring fresh new ideas to our team. We welcome them both to their new roles.”
Ringersma and Gomez’s new roles are effective now.
