The Wake-Up Call Podcast, hosted by industry veterans Mark Quinn and Mike Magnuson, is catching the industry’s attention.
Three companies—Casper, BrandSource and Imagine.io—have joined as sponsors for the weekly podcast, which is featured on Bedding News Now’s website and distributed via newsletter every Friday.
“People across the mattress industry are working through big changes in how customers discover, choose, and shop for a mattress,” said Mike McQuiston, President of Casper. What I appreciate about the Wake-Up Call podcast is that Mark and Mike get into those questions with both candor and real industry experience. Casper is excited to support a show that helps all of us think more critically about how we serve customers and earn their trust.”
Quinn and Magnuson, both veteran podcasters, said they hope to bring practical information to the industry and to inspire industry leaders to think more deeply and critically about the key issues impacting it daily. They will be covering topics on their own but also interview key industry executives who want to share their insights about the category
“Everything we do at BrandSource starts and ends with our members,” said Chad Fischer, BrandSource. “The Wake-Up Call podcast is built on that same idea: give retailers and industry professionals a place to learn from each other and grow the business together. Mark and Mike bring candid, practical conversations to the mattress industry, and we’re proud to support a show that’s in it for the retailer, just like we are.”
So far, Quinn and Magnuson have touched on topics like industry consolidation, consumer behavior, digital marketing, retail strategy, brand-building, and much more.
“The Wake-Up Call podcast is the perfect vehicle for us to launch our new 3D Mattress Builder,” said Preet Singh, CEO of Imagine.io. “It’s an entertaining, insightful conversation for the category, and we’re happy to be a part of it.”
Bedding News Now Publisher Rick Harrison added, “Quinn and Magnuson are smart, funny and insightful. It’s a great addition to what is already the best bedding content in the industry. By far.”
