Having someone to focus minds on the need for all our messaging and communications to be aligned was vital to an organisation like UCL with so many disciplines and public spokespeople. bbm helped produce the narrative that now binds all our communications together.”
Mark Sudbury, Director of Communications, UCL
 
I commissioned bbm to help Three UK persuade Ofcom to reduce the costs of mobile phone calls allowing our customers to benefit from a level playing field amongst mobile phone operators. They alone saw the opportunity to generate a public facing campaign that would influence Ofcom to make the right decision.”
Hugh Davies, Director of Corporate Affairs, Three UK
 
Gaining planning permission for new commercial development such a supermarkets has been getting progressively harder to achieve over the last decade and it will become even more complex given the advent of localism. bbm’s experience of running successful campaigns for the public and private sectors over many years is so easily applied to winning a planning application. Their unique Campaign It! approach focuses on explaining the complexities of a development to ordinary people, winning their hearts, minds and trust, building long lasting links with communities which are of real benefit to the developer.”

Head of UK and European External Affairs, Asda
 
Gazeley is a world leader in warehousing and logistics which are essential for the storage and delivery of everything we buy today – in person or online. However, achieving planning consent can be difficult on the right site when you are committed to avoiding adverse effects for local residents, traffic or the environment. Only bbm have been able to see this as a campaign to be won by aligning the public and local officials to allow applications to succeed.”
Don Morgan,
UK Planning and Development Director, Gazeley
 
As Director General of Age Concern I employed bbm to help change the way we operated as a charity, I’ve worked with many consultancies in my time, but can say without doubt bbm were the best value for money. They came top of our VFM assessment, were very strategic in their thinking and were prepared to roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty with the delivery as well.”
Gordon Lishman, Director General, ACE
 
There are consultancies and then there is bbm! Their approach to campaigning demonstrated the benefit of thorough research before planning a campaign. We were able to layer our message to create an understanding in our audience that enabled them to respond positively to the final ‘call to action’”
Rt Hon Joan Ryan, Deputy Director, No2AV
 
A union like Accord can be so busy that we don’t have time to sit back and plan our work in a strategic manner – the benefit of bbm is that they can provide the necessary research and then work with you to ensure its implementation.”
Ged Nichols, General Secretary, Accord
 
We at the Law Society have been concerned by the government’s intention to restrict legal aid as part of the programme of public service cuts. Research carried out by bbm showed the public wanted to keep legal aid but wanted to make savings. bbm became our campaign managers, using their Campaign It! approach, working with our own staff and partners, writing the narrative for the campaign and helping us to coordinate and integrate our activities so we were always on message and building our story to the decision-makers.”
Stephen Ward,
Director of Communications, the Law Society
 
Sometimes having an idea and a passion to succeed is not enough – I saw as Home Secretary the imperative of those charged with the security of their country or their company or organisation always being one step ahead of those that would endanger our people or society. bbm helped turn my passion into the Institute for Security and Resilience Studies – attracting funding, people and partners to work together for the benefit of everyone”
