Put Fertile Thinking
To Work For You!

Our Approach

The backbone of the Black Dirt Daily and Chat BDC media properties is Black Dirt Communications, a full-service communications agency started in November 2019 by Mike Opperman. BDC is more than just an agency, and certainly not like any traditional agency you may have worked with. 

BDC is really a network of seasoned communications and creative professionals working together to do what’s right for agricultural companies. When we say we have decades of experience, we mean it. We’ve worked for some of the largest agencies, with companies big and small, across every livestock and row crop market.

While we have extensive experience, we’re not an expensive agency.
We can fit into any budget, large and small.

Here’s a few of the things we can do:

  • Facilitate strategy sessions and develop comprehensive business, marketing, and communications plans.

  • Implement public relations activities, anywhere from
    developing content to managing public relations events.

  • Build a brand. We can help elevate the perception
    and awareness of your brand across core audiences.

  • Be creative. Need an ad? We can help build one.

  • Be digital. Need a website? We can help build one.

  • Reach audiences directly. We can build and deploy newsletters and e-blasts using our BDD lists or to your own CRM.
