“Monica joined marcusbrewster two years ago after senior stints at Cerebra and Ogilvy PR. She has subsequently built on those foundations to develop into a leading industry talent,” notes the firm’s chairperson Marcus Brewster.   

“In the entertainment industry they refer to a triple threat as a performer who can sing, dance and act. In Monica, we have similar star power: a consummate professional with proven strengths in strategy, implementation and social. Her commitment to excellence, her clients and the agency make her an asset to the business. With her additional qualifications in Digital PR, she has a great vision of where marcusbrewster is headed in the years to come as well,” says Brewster.

Van der Spuy will continue to head up the Gauteng office of marcusbrewster, but will additionally assume a larger strategic management and developmental role across the business itself, while also finding opportunities to grow marcusbrewster’s offering for both new and existing clients like takealot.com, SAP and SAIT. 

At the end of 2014, marcusbrewster was named South Africa’s Best Onshore & Offshore Focused PR Firm at the Offshore Excellence Awards in London. Other South African companies honoured included Old Mutual Private Equity, Standard Bank and Werksmans.
