About BOLDT BPI

Brussels Office Since

2018

Firm Description

The EU in 2026 is a more complex and uncertain place to navigate. The established balance of power is changing. There are huge challenges politically, with the rise of populism, exacerbated by other factors like climate change, migration, energy prices, food insecurity and drought. On top of this, the geopolitical landscape is increasingly unpredictable, with new developments and shifts emerging every day.

In this landscape, you need external partners with unparalleled experience to work for you. We at BOLDT BPI are those people. We are political campaigners with strong networks. We think boldly and challenge our clients to do things differently and creatively.

We counsel leaders on strategy, communications and political engagement. Put us to work on your challenges and opportunities and you’ll benefit from a combined international experience that is second to none – we are totally focused on helping our clients WIN.

Our team includes some of Europe’s most senior and sought-after communications, crisis and political campaigning professionals – at BOLDT BPI our clients work with them every day.

We have six wholly-owned offices in Europe – Brussels, Berlin, Geneva, Oslo, London and Zürich – and a network of strategic partners across the EU and the world.

In 2023 we were acquired by Bully Pulpit International, a Washington D.C-based media and communications agency with offices across the United States. Our transatlantic relationship with BPI is a unique offering to any client interested in developing global strategies.
