Project Director Digital

AdFarm, a 40+-year-old Agri-Marketing business whose PURPOSE is to be a catalyst for the advancement of agriculture.

Are you being smart?

Are you being helpful?

Pitching in when it counts and doing whatever it takes to do an amazing job for your clients. Having direct and difficult conversations when necessary. Setting clear expectations for you, your supervisor and those you supervise.
