The five PMA-Produce Plus Marketer of the Year Award (MOYA) finalists will be showcasing their innovative campaigns at the Hort Connections Fresh Marketing Insights session on Wednesday 17 May.
From 11.30am, the five finalists will offer a rundown of their innovative fresh produce marketing, and take part in a discussion about the strategic thinking behind each campaign.
Offering first-hand insights into their marketing approaches, the session allows deleates to put their questions to the finalists at the Fresh Marketing Insights session, located in ‘P Rooms 1-3’ during day two of the Hort Connections event at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Joining Produce Plus editor Gabrielle Easter at the MOYA Finalists session will be:

- Julian Carbone and the Lenswood Apples marketing team to discuss the 2016 ‘Rockit Apple’ campaign that launched the new apple variety in Australia, introducing Rockit as a snack apple into the fast moving consumer goods marketplace.
