In this episode Kate Plummer, Clearmount and Johanna Gottlieb, Axis

Promotions talk with Jason Emery from Toddy Gear. They discuss

reopening safely during a pandemic and what it has been like at Toddy

for the last few months.

Last year we did a podcast called Newbies and Vets. Mark Graham and Johanna Gottlieb went back to last year's newbies to talk to them about what it has been like to do your first year in promo DURING A PANDEMIC! It was such a fun conversation with three amazing women.

Melanie Dwyer-Joyce has been an account coordinator for Rightsleeve Marketing since April 2019. She has a background in fashion and digital marketing and a passion for sustainability and supporting social-enterprises.

Krista Franchuk with the Promo Addict has a wide range of experience. She has spent time working in the oil and gas, waste, construction, not-for-profit, and business consulting industries. Krista has been assisting customers with their promotional product needs since February of 2019. When not at the office, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, cheering on her kids at their various activities, and gardening in the spring and summer (and dreaming of gardening in the fall & winter).

Laura Gibson of Brand Fuel, Inc. is a self-proclaimed Jill-of-all-trades with a background in project management and administration, giving her keen eye for detail. She is a proud Navy brat that has been to 49 states (One day Alaska, one day…) and has logged 4.5 cross-country road trips over the years. When Laura is not helping add Fuel to your Brand, you can find her on the kickball and wiffleball fields, dodgeball courts, and other various social sports activities.
