MEET OUR TEAM
Brent has spent his career on the agency side of the table, but his attention has always been on the person sitting across from it: the CMO, the VP of marketing, the CFO deciding where the next dollar goes.
For more than 20 years, he’s led business development for a select handful of agencies. That’s a long time spent learning what companies are really trying to solve before anyone brings up scope or budget. Along the way he’s worked with brands in healthcare, higher ed, manufacturing, travel and tourism, retail, luxury real estate, and e-commerce, large and small, and watched a lot of terrific campaigns turn into terrific results.
That range taught him something simple. “Clients want three things,” Brent says. “A partner who listens and understands their challenges, work that’s strategic and transparent, and real results from someone who has their best interest in mind.”
It’s also why he came back to TBL. “The team here checks every box for the clients I want to work with. Trusted, strategic, a true partner. It makes my job easier knowing my team has my clients’ back and will deliver.”
Off the clock, Brent is usually outside with his family, hiking the South Carolina mountains or in the bleachers watching his youngest son pitch. His oldest just wrapped four years of AFROTC at Blue Ridge High and heads to Navy boot camp this summer, and his wife has spent over a decade working on behalf of seniors, these days advocating for them to stay in their own homes longer.
