Coffee chat with Kine Kotte ☕️

Name: Kine Kotte

Position: Country Marketing Manager in Santa Maria

Preferred coffee drink: I have to have some milk in my coffee and if I order out it's always a double cappuccino

What are you most looking forward to this fall?

I'm looking forward to the same as the rest of the year: Friday, or more specifically, Taco Friday. And all the other Taco Days too, for that matter. This fall we're celebrating 30 years of Santa Maria tacos, so now it's tacos all week!

What's most important to you as you enter a new budget year?

We're delivering good results, so I hope we'll have an even bigger budget next year. But regardless, it will be important to have good partners who help us choose smart and innovative solutions. So that we get the most out of every budget.

What do you think the trends will look like in 2023?

Everything is going to be even higher: Electricity bills, inflation and mortgage rates. The only thing that will be lower is purchasing power. Most people will opt out of something and treat themselves to something else. We think people will eat out less, but still enjoy themselves at home with their families. And Friday fun is probably one of the last things to go.

What is it like working with Aller Media?

We only have good partners, and you're actually one of the best. You're always on the ball, proposing new and innovative solutions. You don't appear too pushy, because you see our needs and propose solutions that are perfect for us.

Christmas is just around the corner! What are you doing to get into the Christmas spirit?

It wouldn't be Christmas without Arve Tellefsen and the Nidaros Cathedral Boys' Choir! If I can top it all off with a couple of gingerbread cookies and some Christmas jazz, the calm descends as the Christmas spirit rises. This year, Christmas will be celebrated with my family in Trøndelag and then the cabin in Gudbrandsdalen to ensure a white Christmas.
