MANKATO, Minn. -- Forward Minded Media (FMM) is excited to announce Doug Monson as vice president of its newly minted agriculture department, a move made possible by the rapid growth of the young company.
"We're proud of the growth we've had at Forward Minded Media," said Jake Ward, founder and president. "We want to serve all businesses in Minnesota and beyond. Serving the ag community is a natural next step, and Doug has a proven track record in the industry."
Monson comes to Forward Minded Media after a 12-year stint with Ag Management Solutions, where he led Minnesota Soybean as the longest-tenured communications leader among the states' commodity groups. In his time with AMS, Monson built a nationally award-winning marketing and communications team, serving agricultural clients across the nation.
"I'm humbled and honored to join the team at Forward Minded Media," Monson said. "Working alongside Jake and his team as a customer gave me a glimpse into how they operate. I'm excited for the family- and community-driven focus of this team and ready to grow its connection to agriculture."
Joining Monson on the Forward Minded Media team is former KEYC Kato Living founder and host, Kelsey Barchenger, and local sales leader, Dakota Odermann. Barchenger also worked a year in agricultural with Ag Management Solutions.
