Scenic Group USA has appointed Brandon Oscarson as Southeast USA regional sales director. His territory includes West Virginia, Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Washington, D.C. Oscarson brings a history of stellar business development success in the cruise industry and a deep understanding of the needs of travel advisors and executive teams.
“Brandon is an excellent fit with the professional and experienced sales team we have built to date,” said Ann Chamberlin, VP of Sales for Scenic Group USA. “He joins the team bringing nearly a decade of experience selling river cruises and is eager to work with our valued travel partners in the Southeast to help them understand why Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours and Emerald Cruises are the best options for their clients. We are thrilled to have Brandon join the team and look forward to him expanding our market in the Southeast USA.”
Oscarson has served in a variety of positions for several companies and most recently spent nine years with AmaWaterways building a list of successes. He more than doubled his territory’s sales in two years, increased revenue for the top 50 accounts by more than 80 percent and built and enhanced profitable relationships with both top agency executive teams and agencies that had underperformed prior to his tenure. His leadership in advisor training sessions and webinars cascaded into handling consumer events with over 7,000 attendees.
“I see this as a great next step in my career with a company that spends every day looking at ways to work with their valued travel partners to grow both their business and profits,” said Oscarson. “I can’t imagine anything more rewarding than introducing the Scenic and Emerald Cruises brands to our partner travel advisors and helping them to inspire the confidence in their clients to travel to faraway places safely on beautifully appointed vessels.”
In addition to Emerald Cruises and Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours, Scenic Group also comprises Mayflower Cruises & Tours and Evergreen Tours.
