Melody Craigmyle
Vice President of Marketing & Communications | Almo Corporation
As Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Almo Corporation, Melody’s primary role is to link all Almo Corporation divisions within an ecosystem of marketing resources to help business partners grow. She is in charge of all marketing, branding, promotion and education activity as it pertains to each business division within Almo Corporation, including Exertis Almo (Professional AV), Major Appliances, Electronics and Premium Appliances.
Melody orchestrates efforts to create cost-effective and differentiating marketing and education products, programs and tools that allow Almo partners to achieve sales success while giving them the training to advance their business knowledge and technical expertise.
In 2021, she led all US marketing and communications efforts surrounding Exertis UK’s acquisition of Almo Corporation, then in April 2022 the full rebranding of Almo Professional AV and Exertis Professional AV to become Exertis Almo. As a result of her acquisition experience, marketing and messaging expertise and organizational leadership, the fully combined Exertis Almo marketing team was in place within six months, without disruption to manufacturing and channel partners.
In 2009, she spearheaded the award-winning E4 Experience regional events that offer AV professionals a full day of educational sessions worth AVIXA CTS Renewal Units along with access to the industry’s top manufacturers and thought-leaders. The E4 Experience continues to flourish — in 2022 alone it received the SCN Stellar Service award and Commercial Integrator BEST award.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and French from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts degree in Communications from Regent University.
