Ken Hinman was named global marketing officer for Talalay Global, and Joseph Peterson and Ed Reardon were promoted to vice presidents of sales for the Western and Eastern United States, respectively, for Pure Talalay Bliss, the company’s direct-to-retail division. 

All three executives continue to report to Kim Fisher, president and chief operating officer.

“We’re leveraging and maximizing our strengths while at the same time creating a total focus on marketing, which is in alignment with our sales growth strategies on both sides of the business,” Fisher said. “These promotions mark the beginning of a series of intensified efforts to increase industry demand for Talalay versus other kinds of latex, and to drive consumer awareness of the superior features and benefits of the Talalay product and brand.”

Hinman also will develop a website giving business partners ready access to Talalay Global digital assets.

“Considering the sheer number of business opportunities we have both domestically and internationally, Ken is integral to our business strategy of emphasizing Talalay Global’s brand awareness, capitalizing on our strengths and enhancing our business partnerships worldwide,” Fisher said.
