The new office includes business development, sales, marketing communications, artist relations and market development teams.
“Having specialized, dedicated Latin American sales, marketing, and market development Associates is critical for us to remain competitive and maintain Shure as the most trusted audio brand in Latin America,” continued Rivas. “We are now even more connected to customer needs, industry trends, and market opportunities.”
“We feel that with this new office, we’ve taken a big next step toward sustaining continued growth and leveraging our resources in the region,” said Mark Humrichouser, General Manager of Shure’s Americas Business Unit. “Shure has long valued our business relationships in Latin America.
