Bryan Bradley takes charge of Harman’s AKG operations
Published: ASIA
WORLD: Harman Professional has announced a ‘significant investment in marketing and customer service’ for its AKG brand. Along with this, the decision has been made to consolidate its headphone and microphone operations under the management of Bryan Bradley, general manager, Loudspeaker Strategic Business Unit. By co-locating at Harman’s Northridge campus, the manufacturer expects that innovation, product marketing and customer care for microphones and headphones will see similar success to that experienced by the loudspeaker brand, JBL Professional.
‘Investing in proven success is the foundation for long-term growth,’ commented Blake Augsburger, president of Harman Professional. ‘As an organisation, we’re continually learning from our decisions, we’re acting decisively on positive information and we’re placing more resources and responsibilities with those leaders who drive success.’
‘The AKG brand has a 67-year legacy of delivering award winning professional headphones and microphones,’ said Mr Bradley. ‘We’re committed to increasing our investment in this brand to grow its awareness and market share across the globe.
‘Microphones with loudspeakers is a natural fit,’ Mr Bradley continued. ‘I look forward to working with the team in Vienna and our growing team here in Northridge to help customers around the globe experience and appreciate the Harman pedigree, quality and customer commitment’
The move will reportedly see the future appointment of a general manager reporting to Mr Bradley as well as marketing and sales leads for microphones and headphones.
