Advertising and public relations agency CJRW has hired two veterans in its Northwest Arkansas office and confirmed that three other high-profile employees have left its shop.

Brian Rudisill has been named president of CJRW’s Northwest Arkansas division and Denise Davis joins the agency as Director of Operations.
