Embark on a transformative retail journey by tuning in to the Retail Corner podcast, where guests Jacob Levin and Andrew Duffy, co-founders of SparkPlug are set to unravel the untapped potential of retail employees as dynamic catalysts for product promotion. About our guests, Andrew Duffy and Jacob Levin: Andrew Duffy and Jake Levin met at Harvard University and are the co-founders of SparkPlug, a groundbreaking platform that addresses the complex issue of point-of-sale influence across various consumer product and retail sectors. Their combined studies in psychology, economics, and government have been instrumental in shaping their successful entrepreneurial journey. Their initial venture, Sky & Wyatt, was an organic, whole-leaf tea company they built from the ground up. Relying on their understanding of consumer behavior, informed by their psychological studies, they scaled this unique CPG business by leveraging training and incentives for frontline associates at boutique spas, natural foods stores, and national grocery chains. After selling Sky & Wyatt, Andrew and Jake sought to commercialize the sales incentive toolkit that drove their success in CPG, which led them to launch SparkPlug in 2020. SparkPlug's unique gamification platform now powers over 1,500 retailers and 500 brands, enabling them to unlock the influence of frontline sellers at the point of sale. Andrew and Jake are recognized as emerging thought leaders at the intersection of consumer behavior and experiential retail. They have made substantial contributions to academic research in areas that intertwine psychology and economics, and frequently speak at conferences and trade events.

For many, the notion of Canada's war dead is an abstract concept of tens of thousands of lives lost to history. But behind the numbers are stories of people who gave their lives in our country's name, and to mark Remembrance Day, journalists in Ottawa will try to provide a picture of the life of one of the nearly 120,000 Canadian war dead. Ottawa Citizen reporter Andrew Duffy joins host Dave Breakenridge to discuss how the We Are the Dead project came to be, how they'll set out to tell the story of one fallen soldier, and why retelling these stories is so important.

SparkPlug aims to propel retail businesses and brands through personalized experiences and optimizing their influence. Andrew Duffy is a Harvard grad with the right amount of book smarts and business sense. Add tech savvy in the ingredients and one of the spark plugs behind the SparkPlug platform understands what it takes to build systems that optimize brands and retail businesses.  SparkPlug CEO Andrew Duffy was a guest on the Digital Hospitality podcast where he talked about starting his company, incentivizing employees, and building systems to help businesses. https://youtu.be/b3UfmzFBY1o WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/b3UfmzFBY1o   What is SparkPlug? — SparkPlug is an "incentive management platform" that provides frontline employees with automated sales incentives and rewards to drive revenue for retail brands and other businesses. The technology company is based in San Francisco. As the team at SparkPlug knows, brick and mortar shopping isn't dying — it's changing. Both Andrew Duffy and his SparkPlug cofounder Jake Sky Levin studied behavioral science at Harvard University, giving them insights into how people inherently operate. “What really fascinated us was the idea that our model of economics that we've used for decades and decades is built around a false concept. The belief that humans are fundamentally rational and that they'll make decisions that are entirely rational…” After college, Andrew took a job in the finance world that proved to be a serendipitous event. He fondly remembers the job as a “unique place and is all oriented around these really unique employee engagement philosophies. So they think about their employees as an asset that they want to develop.” Though the kickoff point for SparkPlug, its true origin dates back to Andrew's days before college. Andrew knows firsthand what it's like to be the person responsible for driving business without receiving the benefit from doing so at a high level. As a server at the Cactus Cantina in Washington, D.C. as a teenager, Andrew sold the most Gold Cadillac Margaritas for three consecutive months. That experience became the inspiration behind finding a way for analytics to be tracked efficiently and specifically in real time.  “If we could make this scalable and make this easy, then I can't imagine an alcohol brand in the world that wouldn't want to be able to do this,” thought a young, motivated Duffy.  It's no secret that incentive manufactures enthusiasm. Andrew and SparkPlug attempt to close the circle of hospitality by creating an opportunity for the experience to be rewarding to all involved.  “You want a really incentivized and high quality employee to be interacting with you and getting the product in your hands. "The retailer really wants that employee to be engaged and incentivized to make that experience great for the person who's coming into the store, and the brand is really excited about getting the product into the customer's hands and having that be an experience that they want to rave about.”   Incentivizing Employees in the Modern Age — Andrew and his business partner have a mission to create high level work spaces for employees to feel energized enough to want to provide a first-rate experience for customers, which empowers the customer to influence others to purchase from or visit that particular retailer creating a desire for brands to want to work with the retailer. Ultimately, streamlining the value surrounding the life cycle of all transactions in retail environments.  “I think what we've seen is that a lot of people get burnt out in retail and restaurants,” Andrew Duffy states matter of factly. “I've worked in a lot of restaurants. I've worked in a lot of retailers and it's exhausting,” he continues. “You're not thinking about what can I do here that's going to get me some extra value; that's going give me a reward for the extra work I'm doing?”
