Nationwide MG Appoints a New(ish) Executive Director for Azione Unlimited

October 17, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

Azione Unlimited's new Executive Director Patrick McCarthy

Nationwide Marketing Group, owner of a stable of high-performance dealer buying groups like Oasys, Ellipsys, and Azione Unlimited, announced this week that it has appointed Patrick McCarthy as the new Executive Director of Azione Unlimited. As you most likely know, McCarthy has been a long-time member of the group’s management since 2019 and has served as the Interim Director since June in the wake of Richard Glikes departing the group back in February.

Patrick’s new appointment is effective immediately, which is a good thing as the group is about to launch its Fall Conference, taking place this year in San Diego, CA from October 21st – 23rd.

Audio Retail Pioneer Sandy Bloomberg Dies

September 6, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

Updated 9/6/24 – See Quote from former Tweeter executive

Sandy Bloomberg, founder of Tweeter, Etc. and a truly significant consumer electronics industry personality, died this week on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

One of the most prominent executives in modern audio retailing, Samuel Bloomberg, known by most as Sandy, founded a local store called Tweeter, Etc. with his cousin Michael in 1972. Eventually, Tweeter, Etc. would grow to 180 stores strong as one of the first multi-regional specialty A/V chains. According to his obituary on Boston.com, Sandy graduated high school in 1969 and quickly realized that college was not his thing. That realization marked the beginning of a company that would go on to become legendary in the many executives who started there and went on to make their own mark with significant roles all around the industry.

New VP & New Product Shows AV-over-IP is Big at AVPro Global & AudioControl

August 21, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

Two big announcements this month from the folks over at AVPro Global, one of the most kinetic entities in integration right now, show how important AV-over-IP is at the company. One announcement is the appointment of a new VP for the company, and the other is about the launch of a new AudioControl product that is really new – as in nothing like it ever existed in any form before now.

While big in commercial, AV-over-IP and Dante is still relatively new to many residential integrators. However, most think this category will grow in popularity on the residential side as more companies begin pushing their solutions.
