Heidi Nelson

Advisor

Heidi has devoted her career to agricultural and food marketing. She is the founder of PRWeek’s 2017 Outstanding Boutique Firm, Harvest PR & Marketing. When FLM+ acquired Harvest in 2017, she served as executive vice president and head of public relations, while helping lead the successful integration of the two agencies into Curious Plot before transitioning to the board.

Raised on a Wisconsin dairy farm, Heidi lends her strategic marketing communications and business expertise to clients along the entire food supply chain, including ag input manufacturers, commodity checkoffs and farmer cooperatives, food manufacturers and distributors, specialty grocers and premium food and beverage brands. She has been called on to advise some of the world’s foremost farm and food/beverage companies, from St. Michelle Wine Estates and CHS to Land O’Lakes.
