Biography
After obtaining a law degree from New York University, Brandt spent seven years working for Hampton's Advertising Agency, then worked for Billboard, The Player, and the Dramatic Mirror. In 1912, he was hired to be a member of Carl Laemmle's staff, a few months before Universal was founded. Brandt was reported to have suggested renaming the National Board of Censorship to the National Board of Review, and was one of the founding members of the Associated Motion Picture Advertisers. In 1919, he left Universal and joined the National Film Corporation, then in 1920 he left National and became one of the founding members of C. B. C. Film Sales, which evolved into Columbia Pictures Corporation.
After leaving Columbia in 1932, Brandt worked briefly for several different firms before retiring in 1935 due to Follicular lymphoma. Brandt died on February 22, 1939. Brandt's son and grandson also worked in the film industry. Jerrold T. Brandt was a film producer, most notable for the production of the Scattergood Baines film series in the early 1940s, and Jerrold T. Brandt, Jr., Joe Brandt's grandson, produced the 1979 film The Bell Jar.
