Goldstein and Alyse Pask, former president of PASK Productions, have been working together closely to ensure a seamless transition for everyone involved.

“A.P. Keaton has an incredible team of talent, and we are honored to create and collaborate with a family that shares the same values we take pride in,” says Pask, who will join the A.P. Keaton team as vice president of brand and strategy. “We look forward to raising our clients to their fullest potential and showing the world what we can do.”
