It’s been a busy and interesting October so far, and I’m excited to bring some of the AV highlights to your attention this week. For one, we are so, so glad to welcome a new president and chief operating officer to rAVe, Mandy Beckner! Mandy comes to us from 20 years at AVIXA, and we know she’s going to do amazing things for our company and help us continue bringing you all the best news, content and reporting. I can firmly say that we are lucky to have her! Find the story below.
Next, I was really interested to see the news that distributor Stampede is rebranding as Exertis ProAV. (Exertis and Stampede are already owned by DCC Technology, but you might’ve seen that Mersive appointed DCC as its distributor recently too.) So no more cowboy hats and cowgirl plaid and extravagant Western-themed InfoComm booths? I’d imagine so. What’s not changing about Stampede it seems, though, is its unique marketing: “Exertis, the new name is here to stay. The old-time Western ads, they’re goin’ away. Gonna let those horses ride into the sunset, cause when you roll with Exertis, this is what you’re gonna get.”
Going to go ride my horses into the sunset as you catch the rest of this week’s ProAV newsletter — as always, let us know what stands out to you this week.
