If you’re going to hire someone to do public relations work it’s nice if they’ve got some experience in the shoes of the people they’ll be working with on the editorial side of things. That’s what Rhea & Kaiser Marketing Communications has done in hiring Gregory Vincent as senior account supervisor, leading the Bayer CropScience corn and soybean team.

Vincent brings more than 10 years of agency and publishing experience to the position, including marketing and public relations responsibilities in both agriculture and business management. Prior to joining Rhea & Kaiser, he was associate publisher and editor of Lenexa, Kan.-based Vance Publishing Corp., where he most recently managed all editorial aspects for AgProfessional and Dealer & Applicator magazines targeted at crop protection and fertilizer retailers.

He is based in the Kansas City, Mo., area.
