🚀 BPI keeps growing — we’re excited to introduce the newest members of the BPI Group: Seven Hills and Message House!

With the addition of these UK firms, Europe is home to a third of our team and London is our second largest market.

These two award-winning firms strengthen our ability to support the world’s most influential organizations and leaders at a crucial moment for our global community. From AI to privacy, antitrust, trade, the green transition, global security, and more, the major issues of the next decade increasingly extend across national borders.

Message House will join BPI’s Insights team, combining our strengths to offer a powerful policy and decision maker research capability across the US, Europe, and beyond.

Seven Hills builds campaigns for change makers, helping strengthen platforms and establish leading positions on the major challenges of today. Together with BOLDT, they will help drive our growth in the UK.

Sports has never been more culturally relevant or financially powerful — but the industry is undergoing a dizzying array of changes. We are excited to build on our work with leaders in the space, including the NFL, NCAA, PGA TOUR, notable athletes, and more, by formalizing our sports communications practice and welcoming Mark Patricof and Terrence Burns as outside advisors.

Read more about our offering from John Ourand and Puck News: https://puck.news/newsletter_content/diamonds-day-in-court-an-athletic-exit-youtubes-big-hire-2/

As the type and source of pressures on the sports industry evolve, leaders need a different kind of partner to help them navigate a new and broadening set of stakeholders. BPI’s collective expertise positions us to effectively support teams, leagues, owners, athletes, and broadcasters alike through this moment of transformation.

Sports, like politics, deliver clear winners and losers. With so much in flux, here’s what we know for sure — to be victorious, this new era will require:
💥 Being visible and vocal
🔮 Driving a vision for the future
🗣️ Boldly and proactively telling your story

Chandler Goodman and BrianMcGuigan reflect on lessons learned from our work in this industry so far and how sports institutions and individuals can successfully lead through the changes they’re facing: https://bpigroup.medium.com/the-world-of-sports-is-transforming-sports-communications-must-too-844a4be84c95.

We’re thrilled to welcome Adam Hodge to the BPI team! 🎙 🎉

A veteran communications strategist with two decades of experience — from spokesperson at the National Security Council and the US Trade Representative to SVP at Ariel Investments and Deputy Assistant Secretary at Treasury to senior roles on Capitol Hill — Adam will be a tremendous asset to our team and our clients.

“Whether you’re a top financial institution, a trade association, a cause or a government agency, Adam is who you want in your corner leading your communications strategy. He’s been battle-tested in moments of severe crisis and understands complex policy issues, making him an expert at communicating across stakeholder groups and across international borders,” said BPI’s Scott Mulhauser.

🎙️Big news from the bully pulpit 🎙️

The biggest policy questions of the next decade are on the ballot next year, but not just in the US. The EU and UK also have pivotal elections that will shape the industries of the future — from AI and the green transition to democracy itself. Companies and organizations need an innovative and bold solution that can really be a best-in-class partner on both sides of the Atlantic.

We’re thrilled to welcome BOLDT to the BPI family! ⚡

BOLDT brings more than 50 professionals across 6 offices in 5 countries. Together, we’ll leverage our expertise to advance the connection between Washington, Brussels, and European capitals while delivering outcomes on the most pressing issues across policy and business strategy.

This acquisition is the latest step in BPI's evolution. While we will always have digital and data in our DNA, we have been more than an interactive agency for many years. We will always be committed to helping clients seize their own bully pulpits to make change possible. Today, we do that by becoming Bully Pulpit International. 🌎

This week, the BPI team gathered to remember Duncan Yetman, who tragically passed away last week. Before taking medical leave, Duncan’s note to our team read:

“My only ask is that y’all continue to be kind & look after one another — it’s the people that make this team what it is.”

We’re so thankful that Duncan was a part of this team and hope to live up to that standard every day.
