Bio
Amanda McGinnis
Brandi and I worked together for roughly 9 years - and those 9 years were some of the most amazing years of my life. She came into our company with unbeatable account sales and management experience and helped us take what was a little start up group to over $2 Million in billable revenue in just a few short years. We absolutely could not have grown our Agency without Brandi. Throughout my time working with Brandi, she never let her clients down, and was in constant pursuit of elements that would result in their success. She is hungry, fierce, constantly learning and incredibly knowledgeable. When times get tough, she buckles down and gets tougher. When times are easy, she finds creative ways to grow even more. As a person, she's genuine, caring, kind and incredibly fun. Working for a startup like company is never easy. There's a grind that comes to it that can sometimes be debilitating, but I'd do it all over again if I knew I'd have Brandi as a partner!

Brandi is fantastic to work with. She has so much knowledge about e-commerce & digital opportunities, and she truly cares about helping clients get the most ROI from every campaign. She has taught me so much!

Brandi is a thoughtful, intelligent and customer centric sales professional and team leader. During our time working alongside one another at Amplified Digital I've known Brandi to always be willing to jump on a quick call, to collaborate and to put together data driven solutions to fit our clients needs. She's terrific client facing and has developed our sales staff across the company to be confident in not only the ecommerce space but in our digital suite of solutions as well. Most importantly Brandi is a great person. Our clients and our sellers see that she genuinely cares about their success within minutes of meeting her. I am lucky to have learned so much from Brandi in such a short amount of time and consider any organization she is a part of better for having her.
