What Georg Is Brewing Up…
Last year, Bleeding Cool reported the rumour that Georg Brewer of DC Direct, would no longer be with the company, as it underwent a dramatic change in business practices and moved operations to the West Coast.
And sadly that seems to have been the case, another underpublicised casualty of DC's executive cuts. Previously Vice President of Design & DC Direct Creative, he is now consulting with a number of firms under the name The Brewing Factory.
His LinkedIn profile states that he is working for;
a start-up, boys targeted, company at which I am shaping their product line, helping to define their company and product branding and assisting in the development a fully realized business plan. This exciting opportunity allows me to offer my full range of skills across a variety of creative and business challenges. In addition I have been retained to guide the creation (from design to manufacturing) and launch of a new collectible product that will be the next big craze in the kids market.
Working at DC from 1996 to 2010, Brewer was promoted from Design Director in DC Direct to VP in 2001. He was one of the last inductees into ToyFare Magazine's Toy Hall of Fame.
