CODA Audio Strengthens Its Marketing Team
CODA Audio has announced the appointment of David “Webby” Webster to the position of director
of global marketing. A comprehensive understanding of live performance and production, forged
as a musician and sound engineer in his early years, was the springboard to sustaining a highly
successful career, first with Klark Teknik and Midas, before he moved to co-found DiGiCo.
Webster is a charismatic and renowned industry figure who further deepens the pool of expertise
and experience in CODA’s already formidable team, having operated at the cutting-edge of audio
throughout his working life.
“I’ve spent many years in the audio industry and been closely involved in some very exciting and
groundbreaking developments,” says Webby. “This is most definitely another. CODA is undoubtedly
defining a whole new generation of systems that not only sound incredible but have advantages
that translate into tangible benefits for everyone involved in using them. My first listen to a
CODA system blew me away -- the quality is unbelievable -- but what is just as captivating is
that the sound is being produced by systems so light and compact that, by virtue of these
qualities, they open new doors for say, lighting, video, and stage show designers, as much as
they do for audio engineers and road crew. It’s the same on the installation side, where reduced
size and weight are crucial issues in, for example, heritage buildings or houses of
worship.”
“Paul Ward is someone I know well and have a huge respect for, so I’m very much looking forward
to working with him and sharing ideas. The company already has an enviable infrastructure and
is very much in control of its destiny. With those things in place, I see my role as working
within an exceptional team to take CODA Audio forward and entrench the brand as a major global
force in the audio world -- something I believe it very much deserves to be.”
Paul Ward, director of global business development at CODA Audio said, “There is no question
that securing Webby’s services is a great coup for CODA. He is a proven top-level operator whose
success and longevity in the industry speaks for itself. Combining impeccable marketing
credentials with a strong technical grounding, Webby also possesses a genuine empathy with
every stakeholder in the audio chain, from the stage to the front-of-house and with installers
and production teams alike. He has a thorough understanding of what is required to be successful
in our industry and employing his considerable talents is sure to be of immense benefit to CODA
Audio.”
