Calgary marketing and PR agency AdFarm plans to cast a wider marketing net online to reach North American farmers where they surf.
The company, which focuses strictly on clients in North America’s ag, food and rural development sectors, announced Thursday that it’s formed an “exclusive alliance” with Rare Method Interactive Corp., another Calgary agency focused on online and interactive marketing.
AdFarm, whose clients include Viterra, UFA, Brandt, Spitz and Agrium, will work with Rare Method to add online marketing and web development to the agency’s portfolio and meet what the companies described as a growing need for online marketing in the ag sector.
