Bully Pulpit International has acquired 365 Sherpas, strengthening its corporate affairs capabilities and expanding its presence in Europe.
The acquisition adds a Germany-based corporate affairs consultancy to BPI’s European platform, following its earlier integrations of Boldt, Seven Hills and Message House.
BPI global CEO Andrew Bleeker said the move reflects shifts in global decision-making and the increasing overlap between policy, politics and communications.
The deal positions Germany as one of BPI’s key markets and strengthens its presence across the Berlin–Brussels policy corridor.
BPI Europe CEO Jeremy Galbraith said the acquisition followed a detailed evaluation process and highlighted 365 Sherpas’ strategic capabilities and political network as key factors.
The 365 Sherpas leadership team, including founder Cornelius Winter, CEO Jan Böttger and chief growth officer Daniel Wixforth, will remain in place and join BPI as partners and shareholders. Winter will also join BPI’s global executive leadership team.
Winter said the partnership is aimed at expanding the firm’s capabilities and building on its existing model.
BPI Europe president Jo-ann Robertson said the addition strengthens the firm’s regional operations as it continues to scale.
The combined European business will have around 200 employees following the acquisition.
As part of the transaction, BPI will also enter an exclusive strategic partnership with Hirschen Group to integrate creative capabilities with its advisory services.
The company indicated that further expansion in Europe remains under consideration.
