WORLD: Adam Hall has announced the appointment of Nikke Blout as global marketing director and Tom Mikus as head of its new integrated systems division. Ms Blout joins the manufacturer with 20 years’ experience working for global companies and agencies. Her new role will see her steering corporate brand and communications objectives, in addition to developing and managing marketing initiatives across the group’s individual brands. As head of the integrated systems division – which focuses on the install and rental markets, Mr Mikus will coordinate projects of all kinds while overseeing and expanding the company’s pro audio customer base.
‘Vision, product innovation and a broad portfolio in a constantly growing market, as well as a strong relationship-oriented culture that fosters loyalty among customers and employees alike, are just a few qualities that immediately come to mind when I think of Adam Hall Group,’ said Ms Blout. ‘You can really see all of these values once you become an insider or through personal contact. Now at the marketing helm, and within the framework of our corporate strategy, I am looking forward to transporting these core values more prominently into our communications while strengthening our position in the marketplace.’
‘We want to make even clearer what Adam Hall Group stands for,’ added CEO Alexander Pietschman. ‘That's why we have brought on board a top professional, Nikke Blout, as global marketing director. Nikke is not only a highly experienced and passionate marketing executive, but also a talented drummer. Besides her PR and digital marketing know-how from the enterprise and agency environments, she also brings global brand management experience from her previous position working at an internationally active DAX-traded company.’
As head of the integrated systems division, Mr Mikus joins Adam Hall with 25 years of experience covering sales and business management at several noted pro audio companies. ‘I am very pleased to be working in an expanding and innovative enterprise,’ said Mr Mikus. ‘Adam Hall Group is globally well positioned in fast moving markets. Along with the existing and yet-to-be-expanded team, the important pre- and after-sales service can be optimally covered. For decades, the company has been, in many respects, a benchmark for a consistently growing company and I am delighted to now be part of this process.’
‘With Tom Mikus, we have gained a qualified industry expert, who impresses us with his international network, his social skills and empathy,’ added COO Markus Jahnel. ‘He is the perfect choice to build our new integrated systems division with a focus on sustainable growth.’
