Utilizing the power of social media and new media tools like blogs and podcasts, plus their agricultural marketing expertise, Truffle Media Networks and ZimmComm New Media have joined forces to deliver high-quality, turnkey production and distribution of business-focused new media channels to agricultural companies.

Holts Summit, MO (PRWEB) February 1, 2007 -- Utilizing the power of social media and new media tools like blogs and podcasts, plus their agricultural marketing expertise, Truffle Media Networks and ZimmComm New Media have joined forces to deliver high-quality, turnkey production and distribution of business-focused new media channels to agricultural companies.

"ZimmComm and Truffle have provided early new media leadership for agriculture and this alliance will facilitate additional innovations. By leveraging the strengths of Truffle and ZimmComm, we now offer agricultural marketers a compelling suite of products and services to help companies engage customers," says Aaron Gilbertie, Truffle Media Networks.

New media allows companies and customers to regularly and conveniently participate in conversations about industry topics, customer needs and products. ZimmComm and Truffle both have experience in utilizing new media as a communications channel for agriculture. AgWired.com, a ZimmComm property, is the leading destination for agricultural marketers to participate in the conversation of new media. And SwineCast, a Truffle property launched in February 2005, is one of the first agricultural podcasts. With these backgrounds, ZimmComm and Truffle are poised to bring to the agricultural community the resources needed to leverage new media and power agricultural business growth.

Chuck Zimmerman of ZimmComm says, "We've only scratched the surface of the potential that new media tools offer agrimarketers who are looking for more effective ways to target their dollars. By teaming up with Truffle Media Networks we have multiplied our capabilities and this will fuel our growth and ability to better serve our clients."

ZimmComm and Truffle feature award winning farm broadcasters who moved to the Internet when they saw the potential that widespread broadband Internet access would offer to agricultural communications. "Both of our companies have taken the skills we developed as broadcast reporters and applied that to the development of web distributed agricultural information resources," says Ned Arthur, Truffle Media Networks.

In addition to offering agrimarketers a new place to target their advertising and public relations messages, the companies offer consultation for the design and development of a wide range of customized new media marketing solutions.
