Meet Erika Hama

Marketing Support at ANZCO Foods Japan

Erika is based at the ANZCO Foods Japan office and coordinates digital marketing for the Japanese market in her role as Marketing Support. She's worked at ANZCO Foods for eight years now but hasn't always worked in digital marketing - she also worked in the restaurant department. Since starting at ANZCO, she's been pleasantly surprised at how delicious New Zealand beef and lamb is. Prior to joining the Japan team, she's held sales positions at advertising agencies and trading companies.

When she's not at work, Erika enjoys doing Kyudo (Japanese archery), and occasionally attends cooking classes to learn how to make different cuisines. When she gets home, she enjoys a glass of beer or wine to unwind after a busy day. She also has two sons, returning from maternity leave last May after having her second, and is grateful to her team who helped her return to work after spending time with her family.
