With heavy hearts we say goodbye to Brian Crowley, one of 88’s longest-serving employees, and someone who helped build the company into what it is today. Brian has worn a variety of hats in his nearly two decades with the agency, some donned out of necessity and some by preference. All were taken on because of his myriad skills and abilities. Brian most recently acted as Vice President and Director of Strategy at 88.
Major changes have swept across the advertising and marketing industries during Brian’s time with 88 Brand Partners. “But what amazes and impresses me is how much has stayed the same for us. Especially our core values,” Brian says. It’s that consistency that has allowed both Brian and 88 to remain successful over such a long period.
Not all is doom and gloom, though, as Brian will stay in Chicago post-88. Lucky for us, that leaves him with no excuse not to stop by the office from time to time. We think our paths will cross again!
As for what he’ll miss most about working here? “The people, of course. Every one.” And what’s he most looking forward to? “My first week without timesheets.”
