Harnessing the Power of Influencers in ...

In the agriculture and natural resources sectors, finding the right influencers can make all the difference. The key isn’t just reaching a wide audience—it’s connecting with content creators who are genuinely passionate about your brand and its mission. Influencers who are aligned with niche interests in this space bring authenticity and credibility, fostering trust while educating audiences about the importance of their products.

Imagine campaigns like Taylor Chace’s “Steak Salad Sundays” with the Beef Checkoff, or Logan’s cucumber contentwith the Michigan Farm Bureau, each blending humor, creativity, and relatable recipes to inspire a new consumer interest. These types of collaborations provide influencers with industry insights, while they share the unique stories and benefits behind agricultural products with their followers. The result? A fresh, authentic connection with consumers that goes beyond traditional marketing.

In 2025, there’s immense potential to work with these niche influencers to showcase the value, quality, and stories behind our food. If you’re ready to explore partnerships that bring your brand’s story to life, let’s talk!

5 Ways Being A College Athlete Helped Me In ...

One of the things that I have loved watching lately is the uprise in women's college basketball in the media's eyes. As someone who wrote "Play in the WNBA" every single day of her journal through elementary school, seeing my friends, family, gym buddies, and colleagues as hyped about the game of basketball and the players I enjoy watching has been one of the best parts of 2024's March Madness.
