Schultz & Husmann Join Quu
• Quu Inc., billed as a pioneer in adding dynamic visuals to radio broadcasts, announced that veteran radio executives Suzy Schultz and Ben Husmann have joined its leadership team — Schultz, CEO/Founder of Creative Prism has been named Head of Marketing, and Husmann, COO of AccuRadio is Quu’s new Product Manager. Creative Prism has also been tapped to oversee branding, communications, marketing strategy, productization, and sales enablement for Quu customers.
Schultz and Husmann report directly to Quu CEO Steve Newberry, who commented, “Suzy and Ben are respected executives and creative problem solvers known for leading innovation in audio. With deep industry knowledge, they’re uniquely qualified to fortify the significant expansion of Quu’s software and services rolling out later this year.”
Prior to launching Creative Prism, Schultz served as SVP of Corporate Marketing for Cumulus/Westwood One and Managing Editor of iHeartRadio. Husmann was previously VP of Product and Technology for TagStation and NextRadio.
“Developing a consistent, clarified, and fresh approach to Quu’s brand and messaging is a dream come true,” said Schultz. “We’re focused on empowering Quu’s customers and offering the industry access to ratings and revenue growth opportunities that build on radio’s core product.” Husmann said, “My role is to help create a world-class experience for our customers — making it quick, easy, and painless for stations to enhance their programming and advertising metadata and visuals for the car dashboard and beyond. I’m excited to collaborate with the elite team at Quu to build a new and improved user experience on top of Quu’s extensive capabilities.”
These new hires are the latest in a series of big moves at Quu since Newberry took the helm last year — earlier this month, Quu and Bonneville International announced a multi-market partnership. In June, Quu announced a noteworthy integration with vCreative, and in May 2021, Jackie Bart and Joe Marshall joined Quu to lead the company’s Success Team.
