NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — Creative communications company Shore Fire Media announced the promotions of Chris Brudzinski to the role of Senior Vice President of Business Affairs and Dan Mansen has been tapped as Business Operations Specialist.
In their new roles at Shore Fire, Brudzinski continues to report to company Founder and CEO Marilyn Laverty, and Mansen to Brudzinski.
