The people have asked and we finally have delivered! We work in an up-and-coming industry that is incredibly appealing to many young people in agriculture, and as an organization we’d like to offer an internship to share our collective knowledge. As the only all-inclusive livestock marketing firm in the country, we are excited to offer this to a college student who has a few other responsibilities this summer but most notably wants to LEARN.
First things first, our business is way more than just taking pictures and videos of cattle. We wanted to give a college student a more in-depth look at Focus Marketing Group and how we work tirelessly to promote our business and for our customers. This is a unique opportunity to learn from a team with collectively more than 30 years of livestock marketing experience.
