History

BRANDed was founded by Klint Briney, who grew up on a large grain and livestock farm in Central Illinois.[1] After graduating from Butler University, Briney represented IndyCar Series driver Sarah Fisher for a number of years and with her impending retirement set for 2010, Briney set out on his own to seek out, develop and manage new talent for the sport of American auto racing. Briney incorporated BRANDed on January 25, 2010 and worked his last day with Fisher on January 29.[2] He then moved his newly formed business to a warmer climate (also near one of his clients) the following month.

Briney continued to consult Fisher through his new company until the two went separate ways in early June 2010,[3] with Fisher announcing her retirement soon after. BRANDed continues to consult for a number of groups as well as provides contract work.[4]

Notable clients include Makua Rothman, Jay Howard, Zach Veach and Arie Luyendyk, Jr.
