Anna Ando is a freelance marketer with expertise in marketing, recruiting and business management. Having moved extensively between Singapore, Japan, and London during her early life, Anna has a strong international background which will prove beneficial for any brand looking to expand into Asia. Born and raised in Singapore, she is a talented bilingual in Japanese and English and has basic proficiency in Chinese.

Anna obtained a degree in International Business and an MSc in Marketing Management Practice at Waseda University and the University of Sheffield, respectively.

She is the Marketing Manager at digital media startup Honest Food Talks, where she leads the brand's strategic and operational marketing. Prior to this role, Anna worked for Matcha Japan as Marketing Executive as well as People First Recruitment, headhunting for major portfolios.

As Marketing Manager of Honest Food Talks, Anna oversees the social media strategy, brand management and advise on the brand's online marketing strategies as well as handling B2B relations with notable partners in India, Hong Kong, Canada, and the UK.

Honest Food Talks is a concept founded in 2018 upon discovering the lack of a central portal for in-depth English reviews of local restaurants in Hokkaido, Japan. In a space where most news and media sites covering the food and beverage industry will focus on promoting well known, high-end restaurants that often comes at a high cost to restauranteurs, the digital media company has opted to stay true to its roots and readers.
