Dentsu acquires BJL, a creative agency in the UK

Dentsu this week announced the acquisition of BJL Group Limited, a creative agency in the UK, headquartered in Manchester.

BJL was founded in 1987, and according to Dentsu it has grown to become one of the largest and most awarded creative agencies operating in the UK's northern area, expanding into London in 2014.

BJL's dedicated team has approximately 75 strategists, planners, creative producers, and digital employees offering integrated services that incorporate digital technology into a wide range of business fields ranging from brand strategy formulation to creative production, content development, CRM, PR, and social media development.

Dentsu says BJL will remain a standalone brand along with Whitespace, the Scottish creative agency acquired by the Dentsu Group in July of last year.
