David Vittorio has been promoted to senior director of marketing at Blount Fine Foods, the Fall River, Mass.-based manufacturer of premium, handcrafted soups, entrees and side dishes for retail and foodservice.
In this role, he supports Blount-branded products, well-known consumer food brands licensed by Blount, as well as the many private label brands for which Blount makes soups and other prepared foods. The company is the market leader in fresh retail soups.
“David Vittorio is the keeper of the Blount Find Foods brand, which has grown in scale and sophistication as the company has enjoyed a sustained period of incredible growth,” said Bob Sewall, Blount’s exec vp of sales & marketing, and Vittorio’s direct supervisor.
Vittorio directs a department that partners closely with Blount’s sales team to ensure Blount products are well known and sought after by retailers and restaurants, and with chefs and executives at those retailers and restaurants to provide incremental marketing support that helps customers sell more Blount products.
From package design to point-of-sale to web, social media, digital and traditional advertising, the Blount brand has grown every year under Vittorio’s leadership. In addition to supporting Blount’s sales department, Vittorio and his team also collaborate closely with the company’s culinary and R&D teams as well as operations and manufacturing.
