Dekalb Genetics Corp, the exclusive marketer of Roundup Ready Corn, has successfully used a public relations campaign to build awareness of the herbicide-resistant crop and communicate the benefits of the technology. The campaign used product testimonials from growers as well as advertorial inserts and a media tour. A database of hundreds of growers has helped the company's PR staff to customize its messages to target specific geographic areas.
