American actor, comedian and TV personality Nick Cannon has joined RadioShack as Chief Creative Officer, and will play an active role in the development of the brand's products, as well as helping to 'further transform the retailer into the must visit electronics destination, from curating the music selection to performances and events'.

Cannon commented 'As a kid, spending time in my neighbourhood RadioShack was invaluable. The maker mentality and educational approach taught me a lot and encouraged me to explore my own creativity. I've been able to do that with my company, NCredible, and I'm proud to do even more as Chief Creative Officer for RadioShack'.
