Delano’s experience includes all facets of consumer electronics with experience in Made for iPod and iPad products, fiber optics, HDMI, loudspeakers, connectivity, systems integration, and AV components.
“We are grateful for our success and very pleased to have contributed to our clients’ success,” Delano said. “It’s been particularly enjoyable to play a significant role in the development of ground-breaking products and their market success.”
Meeting with electronic systems contractors, technology developers, manufacturers, and attending tradeshows around the world, Delano has created a diverse portfolio of experience and results and has been noted for his commitment to the brands. “We are passionate for the brands we work with and help to create, and we much prefer working with our clients to implement the plan rather than simply recommending a course of action,” he said.

An active engagement approach with clients has earned Delano a reputation for effectiveness and strong relationship skills. Working across a diverse range of existing and developing brands, the consultancy has made significant contributions to numerous brands, creating new revenue streams for their clients and their clients’ customers.
“It’s been a great experience to work with many different types of companies and we look forward to our future with progressive-minded clients. There’s so much opportunity in our industry to create new business with the social and technology shifts that are taking place. Established brands must expand and new brands are emerging every day” Delano said.
