History

The Brandon Agency owes its start to a bank. Well, a bank and spare time. 50 years ago, Cecil Brandon came to Myrtle Beach to begin a career in banking. However, he arrived a few months early, so with time on his hands, he decided to take photographs around the beach and sell them as advertising postcards out of the trunk of his car. Had Cecil arrived a few months later, The Brandon Agency might very well be Brandon Banking today, but thanks to some spare time, an advertising agency was born, and Cecil never looked back.

A half a century later, The Brandon Agency has flourished into a full-service agency with national clients and more than 60 full-time employees. We’ve been through many changes and “facelifts” as some might call them. However, we still approach each day and each client with that same hunger, that same entrepreneurial drive that our agency was founded upon back in 1959. Hey, it’s just who we are.

We pride ourselves on our originality – in our work, our ideas, our individual personalities. We are a mesh of individual originalists who come together for one purpose – to ensure the success of our clients. We do this with grand ideas, collaboration between all departments and a trust in each other’s abilities and expertise. As individuals, we can only do so much, but as a group, an unwavering unit, we are so much more.

In 2004, The Brandon Agency proudly announced the opening of an office in Charleston, S.C. in order to serve our growing client base in the Charleston and Hilton Head areas, and in November 2008, we opened a Charlotte, N.C. office. And with clients in Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia and Michigan, we might just be opening an office near you soon.
