Communications Corner | October Recap

Welcome to the Communications Corner ㅡ a once a month recap blog post sharing what NCI’s communications team has been up to!

October was another busy month ㅡ our team works on a variety of projects and all things communication and marketing related. Let’s recap this month’s events:

Webinars

Our Communications Team and Program Manager, Nick Sinner, at the Hankinson Ethanol Plant

Our team helps market, run, and recap NCI’s various webinars hosted several times each month! Learn more about each webinar from this month by reading our blog posts:

Courses

Our team also helps to market, run, and recap all the in-person and online courses held at NCI! This last month, NCI began an online Ethanol Procurement for Importers course which is being held from October 25th to November 10th. Our team spent time promoting it through email blasts, social media, videos, and more. We also traveled and spent time shooting and creating videos to use during the course.

Video Shoots

This month, some of NCI’s communications team traveled to tour a local ethanol plant in Hankinson, ND. We took video and interviews from the employees at the plant as they led us on a tour to learn more about their operation. Some of our team also traveled to Casselton, ND to video their ethanol plant’s analytical lab. Both video tours will be used in the online Ethanol Procurement for Importers course.

& More!

Between the busyness of webinars, courses, and traveling…our team has also been hard at work editing videos, writing press releases, blog posts, planning, & more for upcoming events.
