Phoenix Gold Appoints Ken Wiseman as Director of Sales

Dec. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Tampa Bay, FL - Phoenix Gold® (http://www.phoenixgold.com) today announced that Ken Wiseman has been named as the brand’s new Director of Sales. Wiseman’s addition to the Phoenix Gold team brings 19 years of sales and account management experience to the legendary car audio brand. In the Director of Sales role, Wiseman will be responsible for developing new markets and sales opportunities, reinforcing relationships with existing customers, developing sales programs, training and providing on-site feedback to marketing and product development.

Wiseman comes to Phoenix Gold after serving six years as the director of sales and marketing for Elettromedia-USA, importer of such brands as Audison and Hertz from Italy. Prior to that, he spent three years with Eclipse as a regional and national sales manager, and ten years with Sony Mobile as a key account sales manager.

According to Ron Freeman, CEO of Phoenix Gold parent company AAMP of America, “I am excited to welcome Ken to the Phoenix Gold team; he is a perfect fit for the brand and his experience and expertise complement Phoenix Gold’s vision and commitment to our dealers.”

Wiseman will be attending the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show in January (LVCC North Hall, Booth 909). According to Wiseman, “Phoenix Gold is introducing some outstanding new products at this year’s CES, and I couldn’t be joining the team at a better time. In the 80s and 90s, Phoenix Gold had a reputation as an industry mainstay. I think we’re on the right track with products, and with the proper sales programs and distribution, the new Phoenix Gold we will be a brand that dealers are lining-up to partner with.”

Phoenix Gold Mobile was acquired by AAMP of America in September of 2009. In 2010, Phoenix Gold was “reborn” as a protected brand aimed at independent dealers. The existing RSD and Radial sub-brands were eliminated and replaced with the R-Series, R2-Series and Ti-Series of amps, subs and speakers, as well as the S-Series of mini-amplifiers, all designed and engineered as a nod to the brand’s past. In 2011, Phoenix Gold went further, introducing the Ti2-Series, the SD-Series of digital mini-amplifiers, the SL-Series of slim-mount subwoofers and the innovative iSeries OEM integration-ready all-in-one amp/sub kit. The new Phoenix Gold had been met with enthusiasm by dealers and fans alike, and Phoenix Gold products have received outstanding coverage in such media outlets as Performance Auto & Sound, Car Audio & Electronics and Import Tuner.
