P-O-P Times Names 2008 Hall of Famers

Sidebar: The P-O-P Hall of Fame

Skokie, IL -- The In-Store Marketing Institute and P-O-P Times have announced three industry professionals to be inducted into the P-O-P Hall of Fame.

This year's inductees are: Bevan Bloemendaal, senior director, global creative services, The Timberland Co.; Renée Richardson, executive director, worldwide trade marketing, store planning and design, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment; and Ed Trygstad, manager, merchandising development, Miller Brewing Co.

The three new inductees will be honored at the 15th Annual P-O-P Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and breakfast, which kicks off the second day of the In-Store Marketing Summit, to be held April 16-18 at McDonald's Hamburger University in Oak Brook, IL.

Profiles of this year's inductees will appear in upcoming issues of P-O-P Times. See the More Reading links below for profiles of previous Hall of Famers.

Administering the P-O-P Hall of Fame is one of the key responsibilities of the Institute and the P-O-P Times editorial staff. The first step is inviting the magazine's readers to nominate candidates. Background information is then obtained, and the magazine's editors and Institute staffers, through a process of elimination that takes several weeks, select no more than three in-store marketing professionals for the honor.
