McCarthy, Robert Emmett
Robert Emmett McCarthy (May 22, 1892 - June 11, 1961) was an American advertising executive. Born in Washington, D.C., McCarthy spent his youth working in heavy construction, including a stint with the Foundation Company of New York where he worked on large bridge construction. He moved to Tampa in 1933 and opened the R.E. McCarthy Advertising Agency. McCarthy's firm merged with the Griffith Advertising Agency in 1950 and McCarthy became the executive vice president of the new firm, known as Griffith-McCarthy Inc. After Thomas Griffith's death in 1954, the partnership between Griffith and McCarthy dissolved. McCarthy created a new firm, R.E. McCarthy and Associates Inc. in Tampa, which he operated until February 1961.
