World Potato Congress webinar features Potatoes USA representatives

April 17, 2023

In an introduction, WPC explains that Potatoes USA’s journey to change this narrative began by analyzing the public dialogue about health and wellness and the potato’s attributes to identify one true lifestyle benefit. ‘By creating a moment of re-evaluation, consumer perceptions about the potato’s role in a healthy lifestyle continue to improve’, they explain.

Proactively defending the potato’s reputation

Introducing the speakers of the webinar, the WPC continues to state that Potatoes USA CEO and President Blair Richardson actively engages in issues of importance to the potato industry and is passionate about proactively protecting and defending the reputation of the potato, being a strong proponent of aggressive advocacy and marketing tactics. WPC describes Potatoes USA Chief Marketing Officer Kim Breshears as being enthusiastic about delivering results, strategic planning, market research, program development, and financial stewardship. At Potatoes USA, Breshears oversees the strategic planning, development, and execution of the organization’s global marketing and communications initiatives.
