Omnicom close to sealing takeover deal for BMB  Marketing group
Omnicom is in advanced discussions to buy the advertising agency
co-founded by Trevor Beattie to bolster the firepower of its
TBWA\London agency. Beattie formed Beattie McGuinness Bungay
with two colleagues when they left TBWA\London in 2005. It is
understood that TBWA, which started sounding out BMB months ago,
has not finalised a deal although an agreement is close to being
struck. BMB has grown rapidly in its first three years and
counts Carling, McCain and Freeview as clients. TBWA\London has
had a difficult time after the departure of the BMB founders.
