Houston, TX — June 2006
The combination of BrandExtract and Bravo Zulu will provide customers a more complete and powerful set of solutions for creating, managing, and delivering compelling, brand-building content across a variety of media. Together, the two companies will meet a wider set of customer needs and have a significantly greater opportunity to realize even greater value for their clientele.
"A company's brand should be supported in each and every piece of its communications," said Jonathan Fisher, Principal and founding partner of BrandExtract. "By combining our powerful strategy, story-telling, and design capabilities with Bravo Zulu's deep expertise in Web and other interactive platforms, BrandExtract has the ability to deliver a consistent message across a wide variety of media. And, since more and more of our clients are requesting the ability to maintain their own websites, we're pleased to now include SAM, Bravo Zulu's world-class Web content management system, among our services."
In the combined company, Fisher will continue as president and chief executive officer. Bo Bothe will remain vice president and chief creative officer. Malcolm Wolter of Bravo Zulu, will join BrandExtract as Director of Interactive Services. Bravo Zulu's Donovan Buck, will join BrandExtract as Director of Technology. Greg Weir of Bravo Zulu will be Director of Client Management. All three Bravo Zulu principles are made minor partners in BrandExtract under the terms of the agreement, the details of which were undisclosed.
Bravo Zulu has been providing innovative interactive solutions to a wide array of industries since 1997. The firm's user-centered approach to design has garnered measurable results for clients, as well as awards from such diverse organizations as the Art Director's Club of Houston, the Marketing Association of California, and the Web Marketing Association. The company is also the developer of the SAM TM (Site Authoring and Maintenance) tool, which empowers non-technical, marketing communications personnel to take charge of their own corporate websites, while relieving additional burden placed on harried IT departments.
"Bravo Zulu has long partnered with BrandExtract to deliver outstanding solutions for our respective clientele," said Wolter. "We're very excited about the opportunity to formalize our relationship after so many years of successful collaboration. Now all of our clients will benefit from the synergies and increased efficiencies that will naturally result from the gathering of all this talent under one roof".
