Hi my name is Brent, I am the Art Director and owner of Ballyhoo Brands. April, she is our Account Executive and office manager... basically, she wears many hats!

Brent's Bio

I was born and raised in Port Elizabeth, South Africa (otherwise known as the Windy City). I studied Graphic Design and marketing at Nelson Mandela University and started working for a local Advertising and Design company. A few years later I headed north to London, England, and worked for a small design studio.

After a brief 2 year stint, my dream to move to America finally came to fruition, and I landed in Atlanta, GA. Working as an Art Director for a Marketing and Design company in Alpharetta, I was able to work on large corporate accounts including Cabot, Witness Systems, Federated Department Stores, American Cancer Society, and a host of other medium sized businesses. With dreams set to oneday move to the west coast, I decided to stay for a while. After meeting the woman of my dreams, we decided to say goodbye to the East coast and headed west to settle down in California.

FINALLY...after 22 years of dreaming about it, California became my home, and boy does it remind me in many ways of South Africa.
