Travel management group Talma Travel Solutions has created a centralized global marketing team and has given new roles to three executives from Brickell Travel and Solutions Travel, each of which the group has acquired over the past few years.
Carole-Anne Hughs Wood, who was Brickell's director of marketing, now is Talma's global director of marketing and partnerships, leading the company's marketing and branding efforts following its recent mergers and acquisitions. She already had led Talma's recent full rebrand and built its marketing strategy, according to the company.
Talma named Solutions Travel SVP of strategy and growth Brett Leslie, who was a director with Spotnana prior to joining Solutions, as its SVP of revenue and growth for the Americas. The company said unifying and amplifying its offerings in the U.S. and greater Americas is a priority of the new centralized marketing team.
Brickell marketing manager Annie Holm also has been named Talma's global manager of marketing and events. Holm recently led a full relaunch of Talma's social media channels and a new email marketing campaign.
Talma took a majority stake in Brickell in 2023 and did the same with Solutions Travel earlier this year.
