The Trades Publishing Company, Inc. announced the hiring of Sam Hicks as Marketing Associate for their turf industry publications.
"We are lucky to have someone of Sam's background and expertise on board," said David Kerr, COO. "Sam will be a perfect fit for us as we expand the popular presence of our business."
Sam comes to The Trades with an extensive background in golf fostered by his father, a PGA professional and golf course developer. After finishing school at the University of Tennessee with a degree in Finance, Sam took up the family golf operation, becoming a Class A member of the PGA.
After fifteen years in the industry as a golf owner/operator, Sam debuted in the publishing industry as the Advertising Sales Manager of Rock & Dirt magazine. Rock & Dirt is an international marketplace for heavy equipment. His duties made him part of the team involved in the initial development of that magazine's first website.
Sam's done seven more years in the business of golf since then, but is now back home with The Trades family to offer his expert services in print and internet advertising, coupled with his extensive golf experience, to Trades participants.
The Trades Publishing Company, headquartered at 20 Our Way Drive, Crossville, Tennessee 38555, currently publishes five independent national buying guides for professionals. Since 1985 The Trades has successfully promoted highly targeted marketing with long term repetitive exposure at local newspaper rates for companies large and small.
