Charleston|Orwig recently added two veteran food industry communicators to its growing team. Katie Pinke (pictured right), a former marketing and information director for the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, was named business director. Lisa Bryant (pictured below left) brings nearly 20 years of communications and integrated marketing experience, with an emphasis in the beef industry, to her new role as public relations senior account executive.

Pinke’s previous experience in agriculture, food marketing consultancy and in markets close to consumers will help C|O grow its business across the food chain. Bryant’s expertise in the beef and dairy industries add even more depth to C|O’s animal agriculture team.
