For a second year, Brunswick Jamaica has partnered with CEO of Dynamic Lifestyle Patrice White as their brand ambassador and coach, for the upcoming Be Brunswick Fit.

Denise Dixon, marketing manager for local distributors Facey Commodity Company Limited, told Food, "This will be our second year partnering with Patrice, and we expect it to be bigger and better! We will be focusing on letting consumers know the benefits of Brunswick Tuna as you train your body and improve your health.
