Brandon is excited to announce the addition of three exceptional professionals to our Client Services team: Davis Smith and Danielle Maxwell join as Account Managers, while Sallie Hammett steps in as Account Supervisor. With their unique backgrounds, diverse experiences, and proven track records, they are poised to enhance the agency’s ability to deliver innovative and impactful marketing solutions for our clients.
Davis Smith brings over 20 years of experience in the vacation and travel industry, having worked in a variety of roles spanning customer service, legal compliance, sales operations, and digital marketing. Most recently, he served as an Account Manager at a digital agency specializing in vacation rentals, where he played a pivotal role in helping clients navigate the challenges of the pandemic with creative guest messaging and new marketing strategies. Outside of work, Davis enjoys cheering on his children at their volleyball, soccer, and orchestra events, and he is an avid fan of college football and English Premier League soccer. At Brandon, he looks forward to applying his extensive knowledge of the travel industry to build trusted client relationships and drive meaningful results.
Danielle Maxwell brings 10 years of marketing and advertising experience to Brandon, with a career heavily focused on the automotive industry. She has worked with household names like GMC, Buick, and Jeep, and she also played a key role in Invisalign’s award-winning “Invis is Drama Free” campaign. One of her proudest accomplishments was leading the development of the Explore GMC brand hub on GMC.com, a major project involving coordination across multiple teams and agencies. Danielle’s passion for teamwork stems from her years of playing soccer, basketball, and volleyball, which have shaped her collaborative and goal-driven approach. At Brandon, Danielle will focus on client communication, cross-departmental collaboration, and ensuring seamless project execution to help clients achieve their goals.
Sallie Hammett joins the team with more than a decade of agency experience, having worked with iconic brands such as LinkedIn, Denny’s, Lenovo, and Tempur-Pedic. A highlight of her career includes managing a complex menu project for Denny’s, which involved orchestrating a food photo shoot and coordinating countless moving parts—a moment she describes as a proud milestone in her journey. Beyond her professional life, Sallie enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, daughter, and dog, as well as cheering on Clemson football and Braves baseball. As Account Supervisor, Sallie will focus on fostering strong client partnerships, developing strategic marketing plans, and mentoring account managers to ensure the highest level of client satisfaction.
