Kinly appoints UK & Ireland marketing manager

AV integration and collaboration services and support provider Kinly has appointed Amy Amesbury as marketing manager for the UK region. Amy brings more than 20 years of PR, communications, marketing and event management expertise to the role, 12 years of which were spent within the audio-visual industry, driving effective marketing initiatives for major players. With Kinly projecting significant growth on a global scale, the UK remains a key market, one which has had significant investment in recent years – for example, the opening of Kinly’s Customer Experience Centre in central London. In her new role, Amy will be responsible for further boosting the UKs efforts, driving demand generation, as well as supporting sales to new and existing customers through targeted, localised marketing plans. Amy’s priority is to build on Kinly’s reputation as a respected and trusted leader

in the AV industry, with a focus on sales enablement, demand generation and vendor relationships. “[Amy] is going to be key to the growth of our sales and marketing team as we continue to expand Kinly’s presence in the UK,” said sales director, Rob Benton. “Through her unrivalled industry knowledge, network and experience, I have no doubt that she will be pivotal to the success of the sales organisation and our strategic plans moving forward.” Amy added: “I was attracted to Kinly because of the company’s keen focus on its people and how they work together. You can have the best marketing strategy in the world, but it would be nothing without the team of people behind it working their hardest for success. “As such, I’m looking forward to joining the Kinly family, supporting the sales team and collaborating with vendors to deliver the highest possible standard of AV for customers.”
