The people behind the system.

Automations answer your leads at 2 a.m. These are the people who build them, run them, and pick up the phone when you call.

Samuel Swartz

Samuel Swartz

Founder

Samuel doesn't trust a gut feeling he can't back up with data. He has operated one of the largest breweries in the country and run data operations on notable political campaigns. He started Brand Builder Creatives after watching small business owners he knew overpay for disconnected tools that didn't deliver. His answer was one unified, affordable system built to produce results. That data-first thinking has grown social accounts, lifted revenue for small businesses, and now drives everything we build at Brand Builder Creatives.

Ashley LaManna

Ashley LaManna

Director of Sales

Ashley spent years as a manager at Marriott, where the job was simple and relentless: grow sales, run tight operations, and make every guest feel taken care of. She brought that hospitality sixth sense to Brand Builder Creatives. Ashley owns the entire sales process, from the first conversation through follow-up and client success, and she leads our sales team. The only thing sharper than her read on a client is how much she genuinely cares about them.

Mary Pryor

Mary Pryor

Chief of Staff

Mary finished college before most people finish high school. She's earning her MBA at an age when most are still picking a major. She came to Brand Builder Creatives for what most people avoid: hard problems, steep learning curves, and a creative industry that moves fast. Mary owns day-to-day operations, keeping deliverables on track and clients happy. She brings energy, intelligence and drive to every client relationship, and nobody on the team outworks her.

Leanne Ganado

Leanne Ganado

Operations Architect

Leanne graduated with a focus on marketing and automation, then kept going. Her free time goes to teaching herself Python and JavaScript, and she's set on becoming a leader in AI engineering. At Brand Builder Creatives she owns the back end of our clients' CRM systems, from builds and support to new development, and she sharpens our systems every day. We handed her the keys to the machine, and we're proud to back her on the way up.

Alex Linao

Alex Linao

Client Discovery Lead

Alex has spent more than 15 years in the sales trenches and has worked every seat in the cycle, from cold caller to director of sales. His specialty is research and client success: finding the businesses that truly fit a solution, then making the match. Outside Brand Builder Creatives, he's a recognized sales trainer who has taught courses and coaches the next generation of sales pros. He brings real energy to every call and never pushes a fit that isn't right.
