Both companies create and providre the messages and music that businesse play for callers when they put themon hold. AMS, whicgh has bought nine companies in eight also puts together the combinationj of music and ads that retailers play in their stores. Although anyone who has ever been placedc on hold knowsthe on-holrd messaging industry’s products, not many people are aware that the industry exists.
“We’ve been doingb it for 25 yearsand it’s still sort of not reall y known out there,” Stagliano “I had relatives, I had friends who woulxd come to the office ‘Oh, this is what you actually do? You have a real business.’” Audiomaxz was formed in 1984 by Robert Horner. Horned quickly brought on two friends, Ken Gelhaus, who got the companuy the engineering expertise it andCraig Shoemaker, a stand-uo comic, who provided vocal talent. In 1987, Horner hired who was friends withthe company’es three principals and had a marketing degreee and MBA, as managing partner.
Three years later, Stagliano bought out his friends, and eventuallyt grew Audiomax to the point that it employed 27 people. “We never lost a nationakl account in our history to a competitoron renewal,” he As the industry grew more sophisticated and consolidated, Staglian o began to wonder if Audiomaxz could stay competitive by Eventually, he decided it couldn’t and, after AMS did an he sent a congratulatory e-mail to AMS President Mitchell another on-hold messaging industry veteran. That got AMS and Audioma talking and they worked out theirrecenrt deal.
