Who We Are

Conceived by the leading business-to-business publishers, the BBN was developed to offer unprecedented reach and more efficient media buys for online advertisers trying to reach important B2B markets.

The BBN provides scale within vertical industries; executive functional roles; and hard to reach demographics such as small business owners. Unlike consumer business websites, the properties in the BBN reach business decision makers within the context of their work.

BBN is a privately held company based in Washington, DC.
