Brian Hovey, Vice President of Global Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer at Rockwell Automation, announced in an October 2020 video that he was leaving the company after 11 years. He stated that he planned to start a media and marketing agency for the manufacturing sector, with the goal of helping industrial manufacturers turn marketing investments into new customers. He also noted that his first client would be Steam Chain, a company founded by other Rockwell Automation alumni, and that his video series Manufacturing Happy Hour would continue. In the same video, Hovey expressed gratitude for his time at Rockwell Automation, citing three specific reasons: learning sales skills through the company's training program and on-the-job experience, working with supportive managers and teams, and being part of what he described as a strong workplace culture. He attributed these sentiments to his personal experience and did not make broader claims about the company's reputation beyond his own perspective.
