Retaissance with Cathie Osborne

The Gift-Cast

Today's episode introduces you to the fantastic Retaissaince and it's entrepreneurial Founder and CEO Cathy Osborne. Retaissance is a gifting and interiors platform that works in a few different ways depending on your requirements - as an online B2B marketplace, a sales agency and, most recently, an online trade show.
We talk about how the business came about and the variety of ways in which it has been able to help businesses grow over the last few years, how it's dealt with C19, and its involvement in the Gift of the Year competition, which includes providing a mammoth prize valued at £12k!

Welcome to the Product-Cast, aka the Prod-Cast, brought to you by Gift of the Year and supported by the Giftware Association. The podcast shines a spotlight on the UK’s thriving gift industry, providing insight into all aspects of the creative and sales process, from concept to retail and everything in between.

Each week you will meet a new key player from retail or supply and learn about their role within their business, their insights on the industry and, of course, to talk about their entry or previous winner in the Gift of the Year awards.

The Prod-Cast is hosted by Alex Ryan - a marketing consultant and a gift/product marketing expert having spent 6 years as Head of Marketing at Paladone Products Ltd before launching his own agency, Marketing 101.

The Gift of the Year awards are the most highly respected industry accolades, aimed at recognising the best new products, talent and inspiration in our industry each year.

The Giftware Association is at the heart of the UK's gift and home industry with 70 unique years' experience. Listening to your needs and finding solutions to your problems. We can help you make money, save money and save time with our knowledge and contacts within the industry.
