Following on from Bush Australia’s acquisition of distribution rights for the iLuv audio accessory brand in 2011, the company has appointed a new marketing manager and sales manager responsible for the brand.
Former head of marketing for JVC and Polaroid at Hagemeyer Brands Australia, Jim Parissis will take on the position of marketing manager at Bush. Parissis will be joined by Frank Micali, who takes on the position of sales manager following five years as retail channel manager at Trend Micro.
Speaking about the appointments, Bush Australia’s managing director, Daniel Todd, said he was happy with the additions to the Bush team.
“We have some great things happening this year and beyond in the Australian market and we’re very excited to have the addition of such experience and skill to our team with Feriel, Sam, Jim and Frank,” said Todd. “Carl’s transfer to Hong Kong will also be a pivotal role in supporting our long term strategies.”
