Crown Audio Eyes Positive Growth For Commercial Audio In New Year: Plans New Products, Service/Support Programs And Additions To Marketing Team In 2010

According to Marc Kellom, Crown Audio Vice President of Marketing, the company has been actively researching and developing new ideas for the commercial audio environment including concepts for retail, hospitality, education, corporate and health club & spa and also has plans to hire dedicated leadership for this vertical.
 
“We’ve been working closely with other Harman brands and with dealers and integrators in the commercial space to develop breakthrough ideas that address performance, cost-efficiency and integration and we’re confident that 2010 will see a host of new products and programs from Crown Audio in this space,” Kellom said today. “Right now, however, we’re actively recruiting a leader for this critical market and we look forward to working with that individual to evolve our product ideas, hone our communications, listen to our dealers and also bring new ideas and experience to the table.”
 
Crown Audio’s category-leading performance and reliability; minimal maintenance requirements and general ease of use contribute to a low cost of ownership that historically appeals strongly to the commercial audio community.  In addition, the company’s unrivalled culture of innovation coupled with Harman Professional’s group-wide commitment to system integration has made Crown Audio amplifiers the component of choice for leading retailers like Victoria’s Secret and QSR restaurant chains like Arby’s to name just two.
 
“At Crown Audio we have a winning culture of hard work, strong innovation and good times,” Kellom continued.  “We’re looking forward to 2010 and all of the challenges and opportunities it presents but we’re confident in the depth and quality of our team and we’re excited to bring new people onboard to help us to capitalize on the opportunities that I know exist in the commercial space.“
