Global creative technology company Splash Worldwide has hired marketing veteran Audra Brown as client services director. Based in Splash’s Portland office, Brown will drive all client engagement and project management functions for North America as well as oversee operations in the Portland location.

“Audra brings an impressive trifecta of integrated expertise, a thorough understanding of the digital and social landscapes, and broad connections to both the agency and the brand spheres,” said Erik Semmelhack, chief revenue officer, Splash Worldwide. “She strengthens Splash’s presence in North America, and will be a valuable asset in strategically growing our business and bolstering our client engagement initiatives.”

With 20 years of experience in developing and executing marketing strategy and communications programs for clients across retail, tech, manufacturing, and service sectors, Brown has worked with leading brands including Subway Restaurants, Intel, HP, Dell, CLIF Bar, CenturyLink, Daimler, and many more to drive growth and create memorable brand interactions for customers. She joins Splash Worldwide from Portland agency CMD, where she worked for the past eight years, most recently serving as group account director. Previously, Brown spent 12 years at HMH Agency, running a variety of consumer and B2B accounts.

“Splash has a very well defined set of services and offers proven expertise in key areas, which to me is very refreshing in today’s trend toward overextension,” shared Brown. “Splash’s client roster and track record--not only with creative and production services but also with its robust technology offering for asset management and distribution--really proves the value and effectiveness of what we bring to the table.”
