Pepper Advertising recently held its Staff Christmas Lunch and Golden Pepper Award presentation at the Fanatic Kitchen Studio, Port of Spain. Each year, in celebrating the achievements over the last twelve months, the company recognises the employee who best exemplifies its values, by awarding the Golden Pepper.
This year’s Golden Pepper was awarded to Account Executive Keitha Oliver. Keitha is a passionate marketing practitioner who has benefitted from working with market-leading, international brands such as RBC, Caterpillar and Courts. Her career spans a variety of sectors, including retail banking, construction, pharmaceutical and FMCG. Ms. Oliver holds a Masters in Marketing from the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business. She joined Pepper a year ago, and is responsible for several main clients in retail, hospitality and insurance markets.
Liliana Ragbir-Sookaran, Team Lead Client Services, said that “Keitha’s strength is that she is both empathetic and responsive to clients’ needs. She’s prepared to do whatever it takes to serve her clients and in this business, those are key traits to possess. Her Master’s Degree and broad working experience in Marketing has allowed her to bring strong business credentials to the table.” Ragbir-Sookaran added, “Keitha gets involved in agency life. She embraces the idea that when you enjoy what you do, you do a better job.”
