Portland Pet Food Company Names Head of Marketing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PORTLAND, Ore. (May 27, 2021) – Portland Pet Food Company (PPFC) today announces the promotion of Peter Christiani from Marketing Manager to Head of Marketing. 

Shortly after joining the company in June 2020, Christiani spearheaded the e-commerce strategy, propelling PPFC into unprecedented, rapid growth. In his new role, he will be responsible for expanding the marketing team and all marketing-related initiatives, including strategy, branding and digital.

He has played a major hand in PPFC’s growth over the past year, and we are fortunate to have his experience on our team!” 

Before joining PPFC, Christiani spent five years working at Red Bull in roles that spanned retail marketing, strategic planning and key account management.
