Mesh Returns to the Forum for Rural Innovation
By Edward Leonard on Mar 14 2011, in the Clarke County Daily News
The meeting’s most energetic and technologically innovative lecture came from Hillsboro, Virginia vineyard operator and former AOL-executive Steve Mackey. Mackey led the audience through a mesmerizing 45-minute Facebook blitz that not only helped many in the audience understand why Facebook is an important new farm marketing tool, but also provided a step-by-step tutorial for launching their own Facebook agri-business marketing initiatives. “If you’re not on the Web telling your story” Mackey told the audience “Someone else is telling your story for you and they’re getting it wrong.”
