Andrew Garson

About

Andrew Garson has spent more than two decades working at the center of marketing, communications, and brand strategy, first building a reputation at major agencies, then going out on his own. He's based in New York. He went to the University of Rhode Island, and what he's done since graduation is the kind of career arc that tends to get people's attention.

He started at Cohn & Wolfe in Los Angeles, where he worked from 2006 to 2013, rising to Vice President. Eight years at one shop is a long time, and he used them well, running high-profile campaigns for clients across entertainment, consumer brands, and corporate sectors. In 2014, he moved to New York and joined Endeavor, then operating as WME, as Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing. During his four years there, he ran brand partnerships and marketing strategy for one of the most recognized talent and entertainment companies in the world. That's not nothing.

In 2018, Garson founded Albany CT Creative, a full-service marketing consultancy based in New York, where he serves as Managing Partner. That same year, PRWeek Magazine put him on their "40 Under 40" list, pointing to his track record of growing business and launching successful practices in entertainment. It's the kind of recognition that's easier to earn than to explain, and Garson doesn't seem to spend much time explaining it.

He didn't stop there. In 2020, he became a partner in Ahh Gave Spirits, stepping into the consumer products world alongside his consultancy work. He also joined 4GuysBeverage, a company operating in the wellness beverage category. Brand Marketing, spirits, wellness: the categories are different, but the work connecting them isn't. He's still building.
