TC Group has named Mark Flanagan as its VP of Marketing for Install & Tour, with responsibility for the marketing of TC Group brands – primarily Tannoy, Lab.gruppen, Lake and White Acoustic – in installed sound and touring markets. Former VP Tim Chapman will now focus on various special projects across TC Group.

Based at Tannoy’s HQ in Scotland, Flanagan has assumed the lead role in the marketing of the Install and Tour verticals, managing the core I&T marketing team at Coatbridge, as well as the delivery of the marketing strategy and co-ordination of other marketing teams within TC Group offices in North America, Japan and China.

‘Having focused almost entirely on the professional audio market during his past five years with TC Group, and led from the front in the last year or so in the role of Marketing Manager, Mark is well equipped to lead the marketing team into a new era,’ says Andrzej Sosna, CEO of TC Group’s Install and Tour verticals. ‘He has continually proven himself to be a very valuable member of the organisation, and I for one congratulate him on his well-deserved appointment.’

Having established himself in audio product marketing during his time as Marketing Manager with music and pro audio retail chain Sound Control, Flanagan joined Tannoy in June 2008, initially in a communications role.

‘Working with a stable of brands that I’ve become very close to, each respected in their own right within the professional audio world, is a real joy,’ Fanagan says. ‘And the team we have here, while compact, is one of the most skilled and talented that I’ve encountered. With the standard of products that we produce and the heritage behind each of the brands here at TC Group, we have limitless potential for creativity when it comes to getting our message out.’
