LA Times names BDI a “Top Place to Work”

Join us in celebrating this exciting milestone!

I am thrilled to announce that BDI has been named one of Southern California’s Top-Rated Places to Work by the Los Angeles Times B2B Publishing’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility Magazine! Click to read more about this special achievement here.>> 

This recognition is a testament to our team’s tireless efforts to make our agency a great place to work… starting with our people.

At BDI, we believe one of our greatest resources as an agency is our people, their unique perspectives and the relationships we forge together.

Spend any time around the office (or with us on Zoom or Teams!), and you’ll notice there’s something different about us. 

I am proud of our team for their incredible talent, and even more so for the kindness, grace and empathy they extend to each other internally… as well as in their deep-rooted relationships with our nonprofit client partners.

The result of these relational investments? A healthy company culture… and a team that is eager to serve our client partners with passion, integrity and excellence. 

As BDI celebrates our 20th anniversary in 2024, please join us in celebrating this special milestone in our agency’s history!
