I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Alex Ryan on The Product-Cast (aka the Prod-Cast), brought to you by the Gift of the Year and supported by the Giftware Association.
Having worked for wholesale gift supplier Paladone, Alex has extensive experience marketing to retailers. He also has some fantastic guests on his podcast, which is well worth listening to. Alex is a marketing consultant and recently presented the Gift of the Year Awards 2021 ceremonies.
It was a fun episode as I shared how Blue Eyed Sun got started, what it was like to meet the Queen, how it felt winning Gift of the Year and my tips for winning the People’s Choice Award.
