Carat CEO Paul Brooks (pictured above) said Rule’s unique and versatile skill set was integral to her appointment, with Rule having worked across agency, publisher, and client-side over the course of her career.

“Andrea is a brilliant hire for us. We’ve been looking for the right candidate with a very specific skill set in mind – one I’m delighted to say we’ve found in Andrea,” he said.

“Her commercial nous and proven expertise in strategic integration and content marketing will no doubt be an invaluable asset to Carat.

“It goes without saying she’s extremely well-respected and highly sought-after in market. Her appointment signifies our continued focus on and commitment to recruiting high-performing talent.”

Commenting on her appointment, Rule said: “This presents an opportunity to work with a great team and market-leading brand. I’ve been impressed with the innovative approach Carat has to marketing, and I’m looking forward to continuing and evolving that effort.”
