“Sennheiser is a company with a rich heritage, strong innovative power, and an enviable reputation in the audio world. Our products are respected and admired by people who love sound.

Virginie de Beco joined Sennheiser as director of consumer marketing in November. Following senior marketing roles at Motorola, Lenovo, and Del Monte, she brings to the audio specialist a wealth of experience both in marketing strategy and in execution in mature and emerging markets, as well as in brand building and activation. Together with MullenLowe Group and the global marketing team at Sennheiser, her key objectives include refining Sennheiser’s approach to consumer marketing and bringing greater synergy to the company’s broad array of communications initiatives. In seeking a new single-source global solution, Sennheiser thus aimed to find an agency capable of aligning these goals with the ability to field integrated teams.
