Lynn Holly is an associate with Demeter Communications. She has a strong background in food and beverage marketing. This includes bringing the national consumer advertising campaigns “got milk?” and “Ahh, the Power of Cheese” to local and regional levels. She worked with national food retailers to get the campaign into local grocery stores and worked with media personnel to get the message over the airwaves.

In addition to her nearly ten years with Western Dairy Council, she has held the position of communications director with the Wheat Foods Council. While there, she helped bring a live, growing wheat field to urban areas like Manhattan, New York City and Washington, D.C., to educate urban dwellers on the origins of their food.

Lynn enjoys seeing the end result of effective campaigns as they take hold in the marketplace. She also believes that people need to make informed food choices. Responsible and effective marketing messages can help consumers make proper choices.

Prior to her association experience, Lynn learned marketing and advertising at agencies, working on accounts such as Pizza Hut and Coca-Cola. She also did field marketing for regional quick-serve restaurant chains, assisting restaurant owners and managers in eight western states with marketing their stores. In doing so, Lynn has seen Mount Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, Yellowstone and Custer National Park numerous times, along with lesser known historical sites like Carhenge in Nebraska, the exact spot where Evel Kneivel attempted to jump the Snake River in Idaho and Cheyenne Frontier Days (she has the pink cowboy boots to prove it).

Lynn’s agricultural roots have served her well. She grew up in a small town in the middle of the cornfields of northern Illinois. After receiving her B.S. in Advertising from the University of Illinois, she relocated to Colorado where she enjoys the four seasons in moderation.
