Armour Home Electronics has announced the appointment of Tony Stott as its new Brand Marketing Manager, signaling a renewed focus on connecting its award-winning audio brands with the broader music community.
The company, which owns Goldring, QED, and Q Acoustics, says Stott will help position its brands beyond traditional Hi-Fi enthusiasts by building stronger relationships with artists, music fans, and cultural influencers. In addition to the company's owned brands, he will also lead marketing support for Armour Home's UK distribution partners, including Grado, XGIMI, and Burson Audio.
The appointment also marks a reunion between Stott and Armour Home Managing Director Charlie Henderson, who have previously worked together on campaigns aimed at making audio brands more relevant within music culture.
Over the past two decades, Stott has built a reputation for creating marketing campaigns that go beyond product launches, focusing instead on artist collaborations, music-driven storytelling, and experiences designed to engage consumers on a deeper level.
"I've always believed the best brands earn a place in people's playlists as well as their homes," said Tony Stott. "Great products are only part of the story. It's the music, the artists, the creativity and the culture around them that people connect with. Goldring, QED and Q Acoustics already have incredible heritage. My job is to build on that and create stories, partnerships and experiences that make even more people want to be part of what these brands stand for."
Henderson believes the partnership will help the company continue evolving its marketing strategy.
"Tony and I have always shared the same belief – that the best audio brands become part of music culture, not just hi-fi culture," Henderson said. "We've worked together before and seen what happens when you stop marketing products and start creating moments that people genuinely want to be part of."
For enthusiasts, the announcement is particularly notable given the recent momentum behind Q Acoustics, which has expanded its lineup with products such as the new 3040c compact floorstanding speaker, while Goldring and QED continue to maintain strong reputations in turntable cartridges and premium audio cables, respectively.
The company says all three brands are expected to build on their recent success with new product launches throughout the remainder of 2026 and into early 2027. While no specific products were announced alongside Stott's appointment, the move suggests Armour Home is investing as much in brand storytelling as it is in product innovation—an increasingly important strategy as premium audio brands compete for attention in a crowded consumer electronics market.
