Ampetronic | Listen Technologies has promoted Kim Franklin to chief marketing officer, a move designed to support the global marketing strategy across both brands as they continue to co-develop assistive listening technologies, including the Auri system.
Ampetronic, based in the UK, is known for its hearing loop systems, while US-based Listen Technologies specialises in wireless audio solutions such as infrared, radio frequency and Wi-Fi-based systems. Now operating under the Allvida group, the two companies are strategically aligned with shared leadership, integrated operations and a joint mission to make audio accessible for everyone.
Franklin, who joined Listen Technologies in 2014 and most recently served as global vice president of marketing, has played a role in communicating the brands’ unified strategy under the Allvida umbrella and in the launch of Auri.
Maile Keone, president and CEO of Ampetronic | Listen Technologies, said: “Kim has been instrumental in helping align Listen Technologies and Ampetronic integrate processes, and foster synergies so the two brands operate as one company with one voice. Kim connects marketing performance to business growth. Under her leadership, Ampetronic | Listen Technologies will continue to emphasise product innovation, meeting customer needs, and advancing audio accessibility across industries and settings.”
Franklin added: “It’s an honour to work with Ampetronic | Listen Technologies and exciting to be advancing audio accessibility for everyone. We are passionate about our commitment to quality, service, and accessibility, and bringing faster innovation and more targeted support to our customers and partners around the globe.”
