Let's Get At It!
The world is more connected than ever before. But with that connection, comes a barrage of information that is hard to sort through from fact & fiction. We see it in agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and of course you see it in your industry too. The impacts are real when we look at what that information can do to public trust, as more regulations & buyer demands are implemented, some of which aren’t any safer, but merely a nod to misunderstood public pressure. Something can be done. Something needs to be done. Public outreach through social media, dinner conversations, grocery check-out lines and more can all help. But you’ve got to stand up for your industry if you want to have an impact on it.
While the sustainability focus tends to lean towards the environment, social sustainability is just as important. That includes having the social license to practice your business in the way that is best for you, your community and the environment around you. But a social license isn’t free and being sustainable for the long term means consumers need to understand why you do what you do. In Your Story Matters Andrew Campbell will walk through his own experiences of connecting with hundreds of thousands through social media and show you how to have an impact in everything from one-on-one conversations to large platforms. After all, if you don’t tell your own story – who is going to tell it for you?
When it comes to the food we put on our tables, or we order from a menu, there is one element that trumps almost everything else: Feel. We want to FEEL good about what we eat. Sometimes that means we want to feel good about the money we saved. Sometimes we want to feel good about the way an animal was treated. But at the end of the day, making sure your customers feels good about what they put in their mouth matter most. The latest research, marketing trends & consumer attitudes, along with what to do about it, are all contained in Feel Good Food.
Between blogs, photos, videos & podcasts, Andrew has the unique perspective of actually testing out agriculture advocacy projects and learning from them. From dealing with the mainstream media and animal rights activists, to working with heart-warming supporters and having impactful conversations, these are all key moments to help drive engaging advocacy. In this session Andrew will walk you through how various campaigns got started, the good & the bad along the way, and detail why positive perceptions are the key to getting through the social media minefield.

From the challenges, to their optimistic outlook, it’s time to take a tour.
