Back in September we caught word that Paul Carew exited BrandCraft, followed shortly by the launch of The Trust Department.
He shared the announcement of the launch on LinkedIn.
This marks Carew’s second stint as a founder and agency owner. He previously founded Carew Co. in 2007, which operated until its merger with BrandCraft in 2021.
A few months ago we got word that Carew Co. was on the hunt for a Relationship Manager to join their team, and recently we discovered that they found the person they were looking for in Pat Brubaker.
In their words:
He’s a whiz at client and customer management. He’s a master at agency flow and schedules. He’s able to see the big picture and develop processes that work. He figures out people’s best qualities and plays to them. And he’s a smart strategy guy.
In other words: He’s a catch.
This also reunites Brubaker and Carew Co. founder Paul Carew, who worked together at Oliver Russell in the mid-2000s.
