FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Veteran agency growth leader returns to TBL to help drive intentional growth across the Southeast and beyond

Greenville, S.C. — July 8, 2026 — The Brand Leader® today announced that Brent Campbell has joined the agency as Director of Business Development.

Campbell brings more than two decades of agency business development experience and, for many who know The Brand Leader’s story, a familiar face. He previously spent several years with the agency before pursuing new opportunities, making this a return to a team and culture he knows well.

While The Brand Leader partners with brands across the country, Campbell’s primary focus will be growing relationships throughout the Southeast, from Greenville to Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, Asheville, and the fast-growing markets in between, while continuing to cultivate national opportunities that align with the agency’s expertise and long-term vision.

Throughout his career, Campbell has helped marketing leaders across healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, travel and tourism, retail, luxury real estate, and e-commerce find agency partners that fit both their business challenges and ambitions. His approach begins with understanding what clients are truly trying to accomplish, long before conversations turn to scope, budgets, or deliverables.

“In our 30 years, some of the most rewarding client relationships we’ve built began during Brent’s first chapter with The Brand Leader,” said Geoff Wasserman, Founder and CEO of The Brand Leader. “Even after his career took him in a different direction, we never stopped rooting for one another, professionally and personally. Brent has always had a rare ability to connect the right clients with the right team, and that’s never been about selling. It’s about listening, understanding what people are trying to accomplish, and earning trust from the very first conversation. I’m thrilled to welcome him back home.”

“This is an exciting chapter for our agency,” said Michael Catanzaro, President and Chief Brand Officer of The Brand Leader. “We’re growing with intention, building momentum around the kind of work we want to do, the clients we want to serve, and the people we want beside us. Brent represents all of that. He understands that lasting growth starts with relationships, shared values, and a genuine desire to help people succeed. That’s how we’ve chosen to build this agency, and we’re excited to have him helping lead where we’re going next.”
