For several thousand people, the best was in the beginning.

A unique spirit characterized Benton & Bowles from the start. Overshadowing clashing egos, conflicting opinions, motley personalities, diverse philosophies, not-to-mention natural antagonisms like art director versus copywriter, account person versus creative, was a feeling of people working with people they liked.

It was thought of as a special place at a special time with special people.

That sentiment continued after Benton & Bowles began to lose its identity and its personality.

Shortly after the press announcement of the demise of Benton & Bowles, 210 people showed up at a party, on November 5, 2002, that had been hastily and informally arranged. Soon after that first reunion, an alumni organization was born and a web site was created.

We’ve had four Reunions since then, each attracting up to 250 B&B/DMB&B alumni!

The B&B alumni organization continues the tradition of people working (and partying) with people they like being with.

If you have any connection with B&B or DMB&B, please join us. Reconnect with old colleagues and friends..

Please send any thoughts or comments about the web site to Vicky Amon at vickyma9@aol.com

If you want to be added to our Directory of Alumni, please email your information to Gail Zeltman at gzeltman@yahoo.com

If you want us to include news on the site about what you’ve been doing since you left B&B, either personally or professionally, please send it to Diane Dudzinski at diane@blauweissadvertising.com

Our next reunion will be Monday June 9th,
6 to 9PM, at:
The Public House
140 E 41st St, between Lexington & 3rd
New York, NY 10017

Keep in touch!
