A.R.E. Accessories Inc., a leading manufacturer of truck caps and tonneau covers, has promoted Bryan Mutchler to the position of marketing manager. Mutchler, who has served A.R.E. for 18 years, will be responsible for developing, overseeing and executing A.R.E.’s marketing strategy.

Mutchler began his career with A.R.E. in the loading department on the midnight shift in 1998, before joining the shipping/receiving department. He worked in both customer service and the scheduling department for six additional years, learning critical facets of the company’s operations.

Mutchler enrolled in night school at Stark State College and in 2005 earned an associate degree in marketing management. Soon after, Mutchler became an A.R.E. regional sales manager, a position he held for 10 years, until his promotion to his current position as a marketing manager.

“Bryan has been interested in joining our marketing team for quite some time, and he worked hard to develop the skills he knew he would need in this role,” said Bryan Baker, director of sales and marketing for A.R.E. “We are confident his dedication to the company will position A.R.E. Accessories at the forefront of marketing support for our dealers and consumers alike.”
