Who We Are

Hailing from Atlanta Georgia with a degree in Theory and Performance Theatre, Brandon Coleman joined the team at Phifer & Company to tackle of the most important roles, assist and manage the CEO Brian Phifer. As Brian Phifer’s Executive Assistant, Brandon is Brian’s right hand man. He is extremely organized, self-motivated and aware of Brian’s needs before he has the chance to realize it. This ability steams from working at top modeling agencies as a junior booker managing models daily schedules and calorie intake. Not to mention he does it all in style.

Whether it’s a Ralph Lauren equestrian style riding pant and boots or a Dior tuxedo jacket paired with jeans and green velvet Tom Ford slippers, Brandon believes in quality over quantity. His belief resonates in the Phifer & Company mission statement of only representing exceptional clients and presenting first-rate candidates with phenomenal experience.
Although Brandon is instrumental in managing the fun house known as Phifer & Company, he still finds time to assist in recruiting qualified candidates, closing deals and maintaining an upbeat work environment with his natural wit and charm. On an off day you can find Brandon languishing on his sofa with a glass of Baileys watching Dexter or HGTV and listening to Mariah Carey, Kelis or Aaliyah.
