Gordy Abel on Friday said he is leaving Carat Fusion and Freestyle Interactive--where he most recently served as vice president and marketing director--for a position with investment firm Barclays
Global Investors as director, digital marketing strategy. Carat Fusion and Freestyle Interactive are sister agencies of Isobar--a full-service digital network created by U.K. firm Aegis Group. Last
March, Isobar promoted Abel to vice president of marketing of Carat Fusion and Freestyle Interactive agencies, where he was responsible for driving the overall marketing strategy and day-to-day
management of both the Carat Fusion and Freestyle Interactive brands. Abel previously served as Carat Fusion's national director of marketing, a role he held since May 2005.
