KANSAS CITY, MO — Avant Food Media has welcomed another staff member to its team, bringing on its new associate editor for Commercial Baking Annie Hollon.
A graduate of the University of Alabama, Hollon earned a Bachelor of Arts from the College of Communication and Information Sciences, double majoring in English and public relations. She brings a host of editorial and other media skills to the role, previously serving as editor-in-chief for Alice Magazine and as a social media intern at the advertising agency GS&F.
Hollon will use her talents to enterprise web content, assist with social media strategy and sharpen the editorial team’s ability to tell the stories of the best in the baking industry.
“We are so thrilled to have Annie join our growing Commercial Baking team,” said Joanie Spencer, director of content at Avant Food Media and editor-in-chief of Commercial Baking. “Her fresh perspective and storytelling skills are on par with the Avant Food Media approach.”
She is the second hire for Avant in 2022, following Olivia Huels who was brought on in January as Avant Food Media’s multimedia specialist.
Jordan Winter and Liz Goodwin, who have both been with the team for approximately a year, were also promoted in January. Hollon will work closely with both Winter, now creative director, and Goodwin, the former associate editor prior to ascending to managing editor.
“The level of talent on this team is beyond exceptional,” Spencer said. “We are thrilled with how these women contribute to our growth, and I cannot wait to see where we go from here.”
