For the past year, a global network consisting of the market-leading promotional products and merchandising agencies in their respective countries has been working closely together to serve joint global customers and build integrated processes and technologies to support worldwide promotional products and merchandising programs. Brand Unbound was founded to provide global companies with even better local support. In addition to Europe, the six founding members represent the USA, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Europe, China, and the United Arab Emirates, Australia.

“Since its foundation in the summer of 2019, it has been very exciting to work out the basics of this global network and to have an intensive exchange with the respective owners,” says Roman Weiss, CFO of Cybergroup International, one of the six founding members. “We share an integrated passion for creativity and excellent customer service. We already rely on each other’s know-how in our respective home markets and have been able to develop unexpected opportunities to support each other over the past 12 months”.

Cybergroup is the contact for all questions concerning advertising, merchandising and corporate fashion in EMEA. Founded in 1994 by Steven Baumgaertner and Roman Weiss, Cybergroup has over 25 years of experience in these areas and is specialized in providing full-service support to internationally operating companies. Cybergroup is the high-performance partner of major brands, which are supported quickly, flexibly and in line with their needs with a pronounced understanding of service and a great deal of know-how. To this end, around 90 employees at the headquarters in Mannheim and in Wipperfürth near Cologne work with full commitment and over 200 in the worldwide network of 15 branches.
