Each had built their own successful marketing agency but together they shared a vision - a networked resource that could meet the needs of brands expanding with the integration of Europe. Later on that year they formed BBN, the Business-to-Business Network. Known today as the Business Branding Network, BBN is a global organization with 21 member agencies across the globe. Together we provide international marketing and business branding services to the world’s leading companies.
