Our Partners

As Bahrain’s first Communications Agency in 1974, the Gulf Marcom Group (GMG) has continued its strong tradition of business ‘firsts’ by including the progressive Consultancy, 3BL Associates, in the Group’s service offerings.

The Group’s advertising business, which started out as Gulf Advertising—later becoming Gulf Saatchi & Saatchi—witnessed a new breakthrough and branding to become Gulf Marcom Advertising; now a key regional player in strategic marketing and communications activities.

Gulf Marcom Group’s current business solutions have grown to encompass a wide range of visionary industry leaders in disciplines such as Business Consultancy, Advertising, Public Relations, Event Management, Media, and Online services.

3BL Associates Consultancy is proud to be the first Bahraini company to be an Organizational Stakeholder (OS) of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

The GRI is a network-based organization that has pioneered the development of the world's most widely used Sustainability Reporting framework and is committed to its continuous improvement and application worldwide.

In order to ensure the highest degree of technical quality, credibility, and relevance, the reporting framework is developed through a consensus-seeking process with participants drawn globally from business, civil society, labour, and professional institutions.

This framework sets out the principles and indicators that organizations can use to measure and report their economic, environmental, and social performance.

Joining the GRI as an OS is an important part of 3BL Associates' mission to promote the benefits and importance of GRI reporting, with the objective that it will become as common place-and considered as necessary-as financial reporting.
