Forty-one years ago, Ted Bird, Bob Bonette, and Al Stauderman saw something the advertising industry didn't have: an independent voice in the production process, advocating for the advertiser. In 1985, they founded BBS on a simple premise — that brands deserve experienced, unbiased counsel on how their production dollars are spent. Four decades later, that premise hasn't changed. The industry around it has, and BBS has evolved with it — but the founding principle remains: maximize value, never compromise quality.

"What Ted, Bob, and Al built wasn't just a company — it was a commitment. To our clients. To our craft. To approaching the process the right way. That commitment drives every one of us today, and it's what will carry BBS forward. Proud to stand alongside this team as we write the next chapter." — Cheryl Ward, President, BBS Worldwide
