Top Ag Cooperative, a farmer-owned enterprise, provides essential services like agronomy, feed, grain, and propane across Southwestern Illinois. Despite their growing operations, Top Ag’s digital presence wasn’t reflecting the scale and impact of their services. That’s where Cork Tree Creative came in. We applied our expertise in agricultural marketing to increase brand visibility, improve customer engagement, and create a cohesive online experience across platforms—all tailored to Top Ag’s unique industry needs.
As Top Ag expanded its product lines and locations, it became crucial for them to project a unified, recognizable brand while enhancing customer accessibility. They needed a website that served as an informative hub for current customers and potential partners while conveying the values that make them a trusted cooperative in the agricultural industry. Top Ag also sought to improve community outreach and solidify their brand identity, particularly with local farmers and rural towns.
Effective marketing isn’t just about digital presence—it’s about connecting with the right audience through relevant channels. Top Ag’s customer base, primarily consisting of farmers and agricultural professionals, operates in a unique space where traditional marketing tactics don’t always apply due to unique online habits. Given the generational differences among area farmers, our approach takes into account the varying online habits of older and younger farmers. To cater to these distinct audiences and their different online habits, we have tailored our approach. By leveraging industry-specific insights, we have developed a user-friendly, intuitive website and refined our overall marketing strategy to better resonate with both groups.
Our focus was twofold: create a seamless digital user experience and elevate Top Ag’s name recognition and brand consistency across all marketing platforms. From integrating agriculture-specific SEO to designing straightforward navigation and mobile responsiveness, we ensured the new website not only supported business goals like a greater community presence and brand awareness but also enhanced Top Ag’s market authority.
Through our collaborative efforts, Top Ag Cooperative’s revamped website is now a powerful marketing tool, driving traffic and increasing engagement with both new and existing customers. The site’s clean, modern design not only improves user experience but also features grain bid information, making it a critical resource for farmers in real-time. Additionally, the website’s search engine optimization (SEO) strategies have significantly improved Top Ag’s visibility online, increasing search rankings for essential services like agronomy, feed, and propane.
Beyond the website, Cork Tree Creative redefined Top Ag’s brand positioning through cohesive design elements and messaging. We implemented a comprehensive brand standard guide that has been applied across all marketing assets, from digital content to print materials, reinforcing Top Ag’s identity in the competitive agricultural market.
This consistent branding has significantly bolstered Top Ag's market presence, enabling it to grow beyond regional competitors while retaining a loyal customer base.
