During the oughts, his PR company was the most awarded in Africa receiving gongs in 2010 for both FinWeek AdReview PR Consultancy of the Year and Global PR Consultancy of the Year.
Relocating to Malta in 2017, Brewster pivoted to writing his debut novel, a Mystery/Thriller titled “The Make-Up Artist” which he describes as “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” meets “Knives Out”.
Over the past seven years, Brewster has done a deep dive into the international publishing industry to understand the forces that propel some books to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, and the challenges authors face in getting their books out there.
