“… Even by PBN’s own impressive standards, 2006 was a great year, with global fees up by close to 50 percent and the Moscow office up by better than 80 percent.”

“All of that helped PBN secure a deal with WPP, which acquired a 49 percent stake in the company, a move that will provide PBN clients with access to the global resources of one of the world’s largest communications holding companies and is also likely to accelerate PBN’s growth in the emerging markets.”

“… In the politically chaotic, but economically dynamic, environment of today’s Russia, Moscow-based PBN holds an edge over public-affairs-agency rivals thanks to its relative longevity, having been in business there since 1990, just when the former Soviet Union was opening up to Western capitalism. With offices in DC, London, and Kiev, among other places, PBN represents clients in a number of sectors, including energy, financial services, healthcare, and IT. Now, with a recent investment from WPP Group, PBN looks well-positioned to continue its expansion in Eastern Europe…”
