European Communication Advisors
We help our customers to communicate with impact – in challenging environments, every day
Since 1985, Barabino & Partners has developed into a leading 150+ consultants strong group with a unique footprint in the 3 most important markets of the eurozone (Germany, France, and Italy), and beyond.
Our international teams operate across a dozen countries and work from 10 fully-owned offices in Berlin & Munich (Germany), Paris (France), Genoa, Milan & Rome (Italy), Brussels (Belgium), Madrid (Spain), London (UK) and New York (USA).
Our clients profit from an integrated service portfolio that spans Europe (incl. Benelux, DACH, Poland, and Scandinavia) and bridges across the Atlantic. We execute multi-market projects in Europe and support firms with their international growth and entry into the US market. As a trusted partner, we help navigate all aspects of strategic communications, from research to implementation in the areas of financial advisory, reputation management, corporate affairs, media relations, change & crisis, and analysis & strategy.
Our multilingual and multidisciplinary teams draw on years of expertise from a wide range of areas. We advise our customers as experts and practitioners, offering insights from various industries. We translate complex facts into compelling stories that resonate with target audiences. Our consultants are experts at finding the right tone and approach to address different stakeholders, effectively tailoring communication to various markets, countries, and regions. In France and Germany, B&P offers its clients a special strategic communication and public affairs service, with a clear focus on both continental markets, including Brussels.
The Franco-German activities are a heritage from B2P, a strategic communications boutique, founded in 2013 by former business journalist Bénédicte de Peretti. Its integration in 2022 expanded Barabino & Partners’ footprint to new office locations in Paris and Munich, while adding a significantly larger office presence in Berlin.
What sets us apart is our strong intercultural expertise. Our consultants are fluent in at least three languages, enabling them to effectively address diverse cultural contexts. With extensive experience in international project work, we possess a deep understanding of cultural differences and how they impact business interactions. This gives us a significant advantage, especially within the European market.
