It’s promotions time at Rhea & Kaiser Marketing Communications. Pat Arthur is now a management supervisor. When Arthur joined the Rhea & Kaiser team in 2005, he brought to the agency more than a decade of agricultural communications experience and an extensive understanding of the seed industry. Prior to joining Rhea & Kaiser, Arthur had been public relations manager for Pioneer, communications manager for Mycogen Seeds, an associate editor for Farm Industry News and an agronomist for the Vigoro® Seeds division of Royster-Clark. In his new role, Arthur will manage the Bayer CropScience corn and soybean portfolio communications and branding efforts for Rhea & Kaiser. He is also the general manager of the Rhea & Kaiser Durham, N.C., office.

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.

Steve Rhea says they’re headed in the right direction. They being Rhea & Kaiser Marketing and Communications. This year Adweek ranked them number 83 in the top 100 agencies.
