CLEARWATER, FL, United States, via eTeligis Inc., 06/09/2014 - - Infusion Brands, Inc., a leading consumer product brand marketing company, operating under the public company As Seen On TV, Inc. (OTCQB: ASTV), today announced the appointment of marketing industry veteran Eydie Webster as Chief Marketing Officer. Eydie joins Infusion Brands from the company's newest addition Ronco Holdings, Inc., the popular consumer housewares brand known for its relatable TV pitchman Ron Popeil and the infamous tagline "Set It And Forget It!" Webster has spent the last three years as V.P. of Sales and Marketing for Ronco, most notably transforming the decades-old brand to reflect its new lifestyle brand mantra -- healthy, delicious food made easy.
For more than fifteen years, Webster has been applying her various talents in the consumer product goods (CPG) industry, working with large brands and retailers such as Disney, Mattel, Seiko, Visa, Walmart, and Target. Her experience consists of marketing, sales, product development, and creative direction. Webster is a passionate marketer with leadership experience in acquisition, retention and lifecycle marketing. During her time at Ronco, she has become a true ambassador for the brand, embracing Ronco's brand promise across all sales channels and marketing strategies.
"Eydie Webster brings a wealth of experience to Infusion Brands as our newest addition to senior management," said Bob DeCecco, Chairman and CEO of As Seen On TV and Infusion Brands. "Her knowledge of the consumer products space and ability to identify market trends will make her a great asset to our company and brands."
While at Seiko, Webster managed and successfully grew the Walmart account by expanding Seiko's portfolio from a single character watch vendor to a key Walmart private label vendor and resource, developing the George and No Boundaries watch programs.
Webster has applied those same principles to Ronco, turning the brand from a product-centric company known for its infomercials to one built around the current consumer, market trends and product quality; all Ronco's innovative products now meet the brand's promise of healthy, delicious food made easy. Under Webster's direction, Ronco's sales have doubled since 2011, and its distribution has expanded beyond direct response to include national brick-and-mortar retailers such as Target, Kohl's, Sears, Kmart, Costco, Sam's Club, and Kitchen Collection, as well as online retailers, catalogs and live shopping channels.
Besides a proven track record as a leader in the CPG industry, Webster exemplifies the essence of entrepreneurship. Prior to Infusion Brands, Webster applied all of her CPG experience by designing, developing and bringing to market her own product, DRINKiD, which continues to be sold at national retail chains.
"I'm fortunate to work in such an exciting and dynamic field, and look forward to expanding my marketing role to include all the brands under the Infusion Brands umbrella," said Eydie Webster, Chief Marketing Officer of As Seen On TV and Infusion Brands.
