The Organic Trade Association Marketing & Communications Council unites communications, marketing, and public affairs professionals across the organic supply chain to advance the visibility, value, and understanding of organic. Council members collaborate to share best practices, coordinate messaging, explore joint marketing opportunities, and align around consumer education and engagement strategies that strengthen the organic brand.
The Council provides a forum for members to connect on industry trends, campaign development, and storytelling initiatives that help communicate the benefits of organic food and farming to consumers, retailers, and stakeholders. Together, members work to elevate the impact and consistency of organic messaging across the sector while supporting OTA’s strategic communications goals.
