Hot Stuff.

Each year, Agri-Marketing Magazine publishes a special edition to commemorate the National Agricultural Marketing Awards. This special edition also serves as the official program for the event. Traditionally, an advertising agency from the host city of the NAMA Show is chosen to create the cover. This year’s awards convention was held in Atlanta, and Freebairn & Company had the honor, thanks to the quality of work we produce as well as our extensive agricultural advertising and marketing experience.

Freebairn art director, Jay Hatfield’s new cover design dramatizes the NAMA 2009 theme of “Hot Ideas, Sizzling Solutions” by punctuating it with a striking visual that underscores Atlanta’s reputation for being a city bursting with excitement. Jay scoured several antique stores until he found what he wanted, then he made his ingenious Photoshop skills pay off with a “Hotlanta” thermometer that’s sizzling off the charts in intensity.

Freebairn also seized the opportunity Agri-Marketing presented to showcase work we’ve done for our crop protection client, MANA. We placed one of the MANA ads in the NAMA special edition along with a (frankly, self-serving) snipe inviting other agricultural companies to take advantage of our expertise by joining the Freebairn client roster.
