BBH is a global creative business founded in London in 1982 by three guys who had a vision for a different kind of advertising agency – one that would merge the highest standards of creativity and strategic thinking to help build brands that truly stand out. Those guys, and the agency named for them, would quickly achieve legendary status as one of the most revered agencies in the world. Today, BBH exists in eight cities including London, NY, Shanghai, and L.A. In recognition of the iconic work we have done for brands like Axe, Johnnie Walker, Google and PlayStation, we were named U.S. Mid-Sized Agency of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and have received countless additional awards including eight Cannes Lions at last year’s International Festival of Creativity, the highest creative accolade in the industry. We provide a range of services for our clients including brand positioning, advertising, PR, digital experiences, events, and e-commerce. We strive for simple, enduring ideas that are rooted in real human truths, and executed with brilliant craft. The culture of BBH is one that celebrates difference, education, inclusivity, innovation, restlessness, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. This spirit is embodied in our enduring mantra: When the world zigs, zag. We also like beer pong and nice people.
