History

Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners was founded in 1993 when John Butler and Mike Shine became the first creative team to leave Goodby, Silverstein & Partners to form their own agency. Greg Stern joined shortly thereafter as Chief Executive Officer.[2]

In 2003, BSSP acquired SF Interactive (SFI) to expand its digital skills, and integrated the talent and clients of SFI into the larger agency.[3] In 2005, they launched Cleaver Content, an in-house studio that the agency leverages to shoot, edit, code, design and produce all forms of content.

In 2006, BSSP took over BMW's MINI Cooper account after Crispin, Porter + Bogusky dropped them for Volkswagen.[4] In 2009, BSSP won a Gold Effie Award for their MINI Clubman advertising campaign.[5] Awarded Small Agency of the Decade by Adweekmedia: Best of 2000s.[6] BSSP was named one of the top Places to Work in the U.S. by Outside Magazine in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

In 2017, the agency's founding partners Greg Stern and John Butler began a leadership succession plan with the appointment of David Eastman as CEO. In 2018, Matthew Curry joined the agency from 72andSunny to take over the position of Chief Creative Officer.[7] In 2018, BSSP was named AdAge's Small Agency of the Year[8] based on their accomplishments with clients including Mitsubishi, Blue Shield of California, and leading basketball video game title NBA 2K.
