Get to Know GEAPS
“You get back what you put in.” This oft-quoted saying about reaping what you sow applies quite literally to grain, which is the most critical food source in the world. In 2020/2021, global grain production — primarily corn, rice, and wheat — surpassed 2.5 billion tons, which fed well over half the world’s population*.
The Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS, pronounced “Jeeps”) is at the forefront of this flagship commodity. GEAPS is an international professional association that aims to be the knowledge resource for the grain handling and process industries. They advance grain industry knowledge and information sharing through a network of global agriculture professionals.
GEAPS members reap a host of benefits for joining, including discounted training and access to professional development classes and programs, network expansion and more significant business connections, exclusive industry content, events, and more.
Creatis + GEAPS
During a time when finding ANY workers can be very challenging, Creatis proved to be an exceptional partner. Julie was very professional, helping US explore what our staff needs really were and fill those gaps in a timely manner. GEAPS would definitely seek out Creatis for any future staff needs that we might have. - Jay Bergland, GEAPS Director of Professional Development Programs
Earlier this spring, Creatis helped GEAPS continue reaching its global network of members. The GEAPS team needed to fill a short-term job vacancy — an essential mar-comm role. Creatis Relationship Manager, Julie Mattson, quickly sourced the perfect candidate, a skilled storytelling professional, and copywriter, Jessica Foster. Jessica made an immediate impact while working fully remote; she developed engaging content, writing for GEAPS’ social media and their bi-monthly eNewsletter, In-Grain. Analytics backed up Jessica’s work and displayed her ability to quickly learn the ins and outs of the complex grain industry. Our clients remarked that Jessica made their eNewsletter open-rates “skyrocket.”

Because of our early success at GEAPS, Creatis sourced a candidate for another open position to support GEAPS’ ongoing education programming efforts, a core part of the company’s operations and member services. Administrative expert Patsy Lee was contracted and did such an incredible job that she was hired on as a permanent employee. The Creatis Studio also supported GEAPS between 2016-2017, leveraging our writing expertise to provide copywriting for emails, newsletter outreach communications, brochure copy, meeting scripts, and a website audit.
We’re proud to serve GEAPS in their mission to advance grain knowledge worldwide by providing mar-comm and administrative support resources.
