Tracy Akselrud, VP of communication of MySpace, has left the News Corp.-owned social network for Brew PR.

Brew founder and former Zeno Group VP Brooke Hammerling told O’Dwyer’s that Akselrud will work out of the firm’s Los Angeles outpost under managing partner Dena Cook, also a Zeno alum.
Akselrud, who takes a VP title at Brew, joined MySpace in 2006 after five years with Burson-Marsteller.
Her exit from the social network follows the April departure of global communications VP Dani Dudeck for game developer Zynga, a Brew PR client.
MySpace, which has scrambled to rework its business in the wake of Facebook’s rise, in August tapped corporate and agency veteran Rosabel Tao as senior VP of corporate communications after a search.
Brew has also worked with Sony, Stamps.com and VidMe, among other clients.
