Two former managers at defunct McKay Communications have launched BrewiMurray Advertising in Quincy, Mass.

Mike Brewi, who had been McKay’s director of client services, is president of the startup. Rob Murray serves as creative director, the same position he held at McKay, the mid-sized Boston agency that closed amid amid crippling debt in the spring [Adweek, May 1].

At present, Brewi and Murray are the lone employees of the shop. Perhaps taking a lesson from McKay’s failed attempt at rapid expansion, Brewi and Murray have no plans to add full-time staff for at least six months.

“We’re running lean and mean until we pick up some [more] business,” Brewi said.
