New Look For Interislander Marketing Team
The Interislander now has several new faces on their marketing team including Gavin Rutherford who has joined as
Marketing Services Manager.
Gavin previously worked at the New Zealand Rugby Union where he spent four years as Product Manager for the Super 14.
Prior to the NZRU Gavin had been Marketing Manager at the TAB.
Hanna Reuber has also joined Interislander as Marketing Associate. Hanna will be responsible for a number of marketing
projects and has a background in design and advertising and joins Interislander from Adcorp Marketing Communications in
Wellington. Although originally from Germany, Hanna is now very much a New Zealander.
Julie Robertson heads Interislander Sales and Marketing and the fourth member of the team is Simon Hardie who is their
Internet Administrator.
Julie says one major current focus is to grow their international tourism market in particular emerging areas such as
Europe, India and China.
Over 50 per cent of Interislander passengers are international tourists and Interislander has worked hard at raising the
level of on board services and delivery. This has included both barista and wine training for staff.
