Communications Corner | November Recap

Welcome to the Communications Corner ㅡ a once a month recap blog post sharing what NCI’s communications team has been up to!

November was a month of preparation for future courses on top of our everyday communication and marketing tasks. Let’s recap this month’s events: 

Webinars

Our team helps market, run, and recap NCI’s various webinars hosted several times each month! Watch the webinars here: 

Our team stays occupied with weekly webinar preparations, handling everything from creating graphics and website content to setting up Zoom registration and links for panelists and attendees. We also manage registration and reminder emails, craft social media posts, and conduct run-throughs with each speaker prior to the event. Throughout the webinar, a team member serves as a host to make it an easy process and records the session for later viewers. Post-webinar, we upload the recording and distribute emails to those who couldn't attend live.

Grain Industry Emerging Leader Program Participants

Between the busyness of webinars and courses…our team has also been hard at work editing videos, writing press releases, blog posts, planning, & more for upcoming events. Video production is a huge part of what our communications team works on, check out the blog post to learn more. This month NCI held an online course, Future of Feeding Soybean Meal and Other Non-Grain Ingredients. For this course Kari and Seth spent time recording presenters and creating the videos that participants watched. We are currently hosting 10 participants for the Grain Industry Emerging Leader Program. This in-person course focuses on management versus leadership strategies for grain elevator management. Our team prepared for this by making some print materials for the participants and promoting it on social media and through emails.

This last month, our communications team:

  • Created 9 videos

  • Helped promote, run, & recap 5 different webinars
