Jefferson City, MO - Learfield IMG College is pleased to announce the addition of Mark DePrez to the Brownfield Ag News Sales Team.
"Brownfield is excited to welcome Mark who will be a great addition to the team," said John Baker, Senior Vice President of Learfield News & Ag. "Mark brings a long history in both broadcast and ag industry experience as well as a high level of professionalism. He will be an instant asset to our clients in building marketing strategies that are client and goal-focused."
DePrez's first encounter with farm broadcasting was as General Sales Manager of the legendary 50,000 watt, WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Over the next 18 years, DePrez oversaw WOWO's connection to the region's ag community as GSM, General Manager and ultimately COO of WOWO license holder, Pathfinder Communications Inc. During that time, WOWO received numerous awards and achieved record sales.
Upon leaving Pathfinder Communications in 2012, DePrez was retained by Farm Journal Media in a consulting capacity. Over the span of eight years with Farm Journal Broadcasting, DePrez served as consultant, independent contractor, director of business development, VP/General Manager, radio, VP/DOS, broadcasting and finally, VP/producer media sales. DePrez played a vital role in the Farm Journal launch of AgriTalk, leading to record sales and an expanded network.
Over the course of DePrez's 26-year career with farm broadcasting he served two terms on the board of the National Association of Broadcasting (NAFB).
"I am humbled to be part of the Brownfield National Account team," said DePrez. "For years I have envied the breadth and depth of the Brownfield Radio Network as well as its unique ability to deliver reach and frequency branding solutions. Furthermore, I have always admired the content generated by the BEST-IN-CLASS Brownfield radio farm broadcasters."
