Martin's international exhibitions manager, Per Lundgaard, comments: "With the entertainment industry's continued growth and our architectural division's expanding activities, we constantly face new challenges in ensuring that Martin's trade show audience is serviced in every way possible. Having Annalise on board secures the resources and added field experience needed to ensure that the various Martin Professional trade show programs meet our future requirements. Also, AnnaLise's experience and know-how of all US trade shows and events will be beneficial to future worldwide exhibition concepts being developed at the international headquarters in Denmark."
Martin Professional's extensive product line will be exhibited at more than 80 trade shows in 2003. Laundrup's main responsibilities will include on-site project work at key tradeshows in and outside the US, subsidiary tradeshow programs, and project database development and maintenance. She will be based in Los Angeles but will travel extensively across the globe.
Meanwhile, Martin has announced the appointment of Ben Dickmann as the company's new marketing coordinator. Ben comes to the Florida headquarters of Martin US from Bandit Lites, where he was employed for two-and-a-half years as marketing director. Martin Inc sales director, Eric Loader, commented: "Ben brings to the Martin team added support for our growing needs in the marketing of our products in all of our various segments. His experience at one of the country's largest and most successful rental companies will be a great benefit to the Martin US team."
