Celebrating the life of Andy Brown
Such sad news. My deepest condolences to Andy's partner and family. I’ve known Andy for my whole career – we joined the media research world about the same time. Our paths first crossed when he was selling TGI and I was buying TGI. Over the years, as we both took on international roles, we continued to do business together – including in more recent days as he supported The Attention Council and CIMM. Much food and drink were consumed; cricket watched; and golf played. Most memorably was the Christmas ‘Brown Button’ golf tournament that Andy organised for over a decade and grew from four of us hacking around Sutton Green to nearly 30-researchers. Not sure I ever worked out the ‘Button’ rules as the worse you played the more chance it seemed you had of winning! Knowledgeable and well-connected, for over 40-years Andy was a valued and trusted member of the media research community. He will be missed. RIP, Andy.
