Farmakis, Inc., in the sales category; Douglas Reynolds, marketing and digital communications leader for the United States Region for Corteva Agriscience, in the marketing communications area; and Hannah Thompson-Weeman, vice president of communications for the Animal Agriculture Alliance, in the public relations category.
NAMA noted Brunker is a respected and trusted sales professional who values relationships. He genuinely cares about clients and peers and is a resource for media buyers, planners, marketing executives, and coworkers. Brunker’s dedication to people over the past 15 years has helped lead to a three-time increase in business for J.L. Farmakis, Inc.
