Taryn Brumfitt announced as San Remo’s newest ambassador

Australian pasta brand, San Remo Macaroni, have joined forces with body positivity advocate and film maker, Taryn Brumfitt as its most recent brand ambassador.

Helping people all over the world to embrace their bodies, Brumfitt and her team at Body Image Movement are partnering with San Remo to dispel ongoing myths around carbs and pasta to promote positive eating habits.

San Remo recently appointed James Askham-Levy as chief marketing officer.

Askham-Levy replaced Erik de Roos, who left to take up the role of executive director of marketing at the South Australian Tourism Commission, replacing Bent Hill.

Askham-Levy said of the partnership: “In Brumfitt we have found a partner who aligns to our brand values and helps us continue to educate Australians on the benefits of a well-balanced diet.

“Brumfitt embodies a body positive attitude and appreciates the fact carbohydrates are an essential macro-nutrient to fuel the body. And her body positive message is essential for the health and well-being of all Australians. In Taryn we partner to put this philosophy into practice.”

As part of the partnership, San Remo will be a key supporter for Brumfitt’s upcoming ‘Embrace Kids’ documentary, currently in production.

Brumfitt said: “San Remo, like us, are committed to creating positive change and are getting behind the Embrace Kids message. We’re so excited to partner with an Aussie brand who are aligned with our values and morals.”

Brumfitt points out the alarming statistic from Mission Australia’s Youth Survey Report 2020 that 70% of Aussie school children considering body image to be their number one concern as one of the main drivers for her upcoming Embrace Kids documentary.

“We want to inspire the next generation to move, nourish, respect and most importantly ENJOY their bodies! No child was born hating their body and yet 70% of Aussie school children consider body image to be their number one concern. I’m devastated with this alarming statistic, however thrilled to partner with the San Remo team to conquer and change these habits.” Brumfitt continued.

“San Remo is one of my favourite brands and they were so genuine about collaborating to help embed the message of Embrace into the hearts and minds of Australian school children.”

The San Remo brand, a 100% family-owned Australian business, offers pasta variations including, Gluten Free pasta, Pulse Pasta and its new high-protein pasta, San Remo Pasta Pro.
