SEPTEMBER HEARTBEAT

Did You Hear That?

They say a picture is worth 1000 words. The team at HMG wants to remind you those words are still pretty valuable, too!

As digital channels continue to grow in type and popularity, having an audio version of your message to share makes sense. Afterall, our audiences have many senses – why not appeal to as many as possible!?

Audio takes less bandwidth than video. Emotion can be conveyed with tone and pace of speaking. Audio travels really well – think of audiobooks, sound-only webinars, and more!

At HMG, we produce multiple audio recordings for the Swine Health Information Center. SHIC Talk, their podcast, is audio only and edited in house. Earlier this summer, we began producing a weekly animal health update from SHIC that airs on WHO Radio’s Saturday morning farm programming.

Would you like to add audio messaging to your marketing mix? Ask us how we can help! We also have great voice over talent on speed dial for those extra special projects!

Check out this recording of SHIC Executive Director Dr. Megan Niederwerder talking about New World Screwworm, in the news this week.

So Many Blessings

In August, Ann and Barb worked with their church family to hold a Blessing Bazaar. This event invites members of the community to bring their good used but still usable items to the event where they are sorted and displayed.

After eight hours of receiving donations and preparing them on weekdays, the doors of the church fellowship hall opened Saturday morning for folks to come get what they needed and wanted for their families at no cost. It was a great success!

Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can,

To all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.

~Inspired by John Wesley

Honoring Hard Work This Labor Day

HMG Will Be Closed September 1

As we prepare to celebrate Labor Day, we take a moment to honor the dedication and hard work that drives our communities forward—especially in production agriculture, where the labor of farmers and ranchers continues daily, holiday or not. In observance of this federal holiday, our office will be closed on Monday, September 1, and will reopen on Tuesday to continue supporting your marketing communication needs. We extend our appreciation to all who keep our food and fiber supply moving and wish you a safe and meaningful Labor Day.
