The PBN Company was founded in California in 1983 by Peter B. Necarsulmer and Susan A. Thurman, who still lead the company. From 1983 to 1990, The PBN Company was best known as a leading U.S. political consulting and public affairs firm.

The PBN Company's creative thinking and hard work launched the company onto the national and international stage with projects such as the 50th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge and the visit of USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev to San Francisco.

In 1990, well before other consulting firms looked to the region, The PBN Company opened a Moscow office. We were the first international strategic communications company fully accredited with and registered by the USSR (now Russian) Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In fact, The PBN Company is credited with introducing the term "PR" into the Russian lexicon. According to Vlast magazine, PR first appeared in an article by Dmitry Bogdanovich entitled PBN Decides to Show Off to the Public - the Soviet Public. "For the first time in the USSR, a foreign company specializing in public relations (PR) was officially accredited — the American firm The PBN Company," the article reads.

By the mid-90s, The PBN Company had opened the Russian market to Chiquita bananas, helped launch Apple computers in the country and managed all communications for the global responses to the Komi oil spill, a 200,000-ton spill covering 25 miles of streams in this environmentally-sensitive region of Russia.

The firm expanded quickly, with the opening of our Ukraine office in 1996 and the Baltics in 2000. The PBN Company•Limited, the firm's wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, was founded in 1999 to better serve our European-based clients. In 1996, the firm established its headquarters in Washington DC, where we have maintained a full-service office since 1990.

Today, The PBN Company provides our clients with corporate positioning, reputation management, government relations, public affairs, financial communications and crisis management services throughout the United States, Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Baltic States.
