BBH USA has quietly become one of the few holding-company shops consistently cracking the Ad Age top 10, finishing No. 10 on the 2026 A-List for the second year running. It closed 2025 with 75% revenue growth, zero account losses and 18 new brands, including Arby's, Bacardi, Goodyear and 7UP, and its pitch is simple: bringing big, iconic brands that have lost their way back to relevance.
Its work for Hawaiian Tropic, which grew seven times faster than its category and opened the door to the wider Edgewell account, shows the model working. BBH USA fits established consumer brands in need of a creative reset; very early-stage startups may find a smaller independent a better match.
