BBVS turns over some £50 million per year (not an amusing figure we made up for the trade press - go check us out at www.companieshouse.gov.uk/info). That makes us big enough to be in all the media all the time, but small enough to be very hands on.

Think about the big, bad media world for a minute. As a media owner, would you offer the best deals to a mega-agency only for them to adopt this as the expected rate for everything they buy? Conversely, how would a small agency not active in the marketplace ever get to know what constituted a good rate? As you'd expect we have all the recognitions and accreditations, and were amongst the first of the media independents to join the IPA

Why does that matter? Because we consider ourselves to be advertising and marketing people - media specialists, sure enough - but also with an understanding of the bigger picture. Your media will be planned and bought at BBVS by experienced operators with long established relationships and a deep understanding of the market in which we operate.
