BRND House Expands into Austin Market, Names Ryan Howell to Lead Growth

Austin-based executive joins agency as Senior Director of Business Development and Client Experience

AUSTIN, Texas (Sept. 8, 2026) – BRND House, a full-service marketing, public relations and creative agency, is expanding into the Austin market as part of the firm’s continued growth. The Nashville-founded agency has named Austin-based Ryan Howell Senior Director of Business Development and Client Experience, where he will help lead new business development, strengthen client relationships and build BRND House’s presence across Texas.

Howell joined BRND House in June and brings more than eight years of experience in business development and revenue growth across influencer marketing, paid social and performance media. Prior to joining BRND House, he held senior sales leadership roles with AdParlor and Austin-based Adlucent, now MissionOne Media, where his work included enterprise business development, go-to-market strategy and agency partnerships. Howell earned his MBA from Austin’s St. Edward’s University.

“Austin is a natural next market for BRND House as we continue to grow,” said Rob Lindberg, CEO of BRND House. “Ryan has deep roots in the Austin business community and understands both the agency landscape and what brands need from their agency. Having his leadership on the ground gives us a strong foundation to build meaningful relationships and grow intentionally in the market.”

“What BRND House has built in Nashville, a true integration of sharp creative, social,  and deep local relationships, translates perfectly to a dynamic market like Austin. There is a natural synergy between the two cities, and Austin serves as an ideal hub for expansion into Texas. I'm excited to bring this agency's standard of work to my home market and use it as a foundation to partner with brands statewide,” said Howell.

BRND House has already begun client work in Austin and is actively building its portfolio and partnerships across the market. The expansion extends the agency’s presence beyond its Nashville roots while creating new opportunities to serve brands across Texas through its integrated public relations, social media, influencer marketing, digital marketing and creative capabilities.
