Episode 38 of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast features two interviews: one with Mary Coppola, VP of marketing and communications for the United Fresh Produce Association, and one with Joe Watson, VP of membership and engagement with the Produce Marketing Association, and Steve Patt, director of business development for Tourtellot & Co.
The Packer's retail editor Ashley Nickle speaks with Coppola about United's upcoming BrandStorm event and the slew of marketing topics that will be covered there, and later in the episode Nickle discusses with Watson and Patt the new Essentials of Produce at Retail training course that PMA has developed for entry-level produce retail associates.
