An important part of Mainline Marketing's success is our ability to deliver superior service to our customers. Our continued growth over the years - and most recently the addition of the Shure brand to our line card - is allowing us to make some exciting changes to our firm to leverage our scale with respect to service capacity (how much we can get done) and capability (how well we do it).
To that end, I am excited to announce that we are creating two divisions within Mainline Marketing, one to service the Installed Systems market and the other both the AV Production and Retail markets. Our goal is to allow our salesforce to spend more time focusing on accounts, which is a win-win for everyone involved.
New Hires & Promotions

Updated Line Card
As part of restructuring our firm, we have reduced our line card in order to be able to focus more on the brands we represent.
Upcoming Changes
- We are launching a NEW Mainline Marketing website within the next 60 days.
- We will be hiring a Technical Product Specialist to support the sales team with complex product presentations, onsite support during installs (pre- or post-sale), calibration of projection and display systems, music store clinics, and training and demonstrations to dealers and their customers in all Florida territories. Our goal is to have this new person on board by January of 2018.
While we do not anticipate day-to-day business to be impacted as we transition roles and responsibilities over the next several weeks, please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
We appreciate your continued support and business and look forward to working with you in this new way.
