History
In 2010, FB Agency was born, a multibrand agency created by Jochen Botte (former, CEO O’Neill Belgium/France) en Mario Fagel (former, Sales-Manager O’Neill Belgium/France).
We started with Dakine as mainbrand, and Brunotti on concultancy base in the Belux. In 2012, due to our extened network and succes we proudly became Dakine Benelux.
In 2014, Brunotti finally joined our ranks! A no brainer deal and great add value for FB Agency! In 2015, we moved to our 700m2 showroom in Melle.
Since then Fb Agency is on the roll, so other brands started knocking on our door! In 2020, we are back where it all started and O’Neill Benelux has joined our line up again!
As markets shift, brands will always come and go and they will create new opportunities...
Why?
FB Agency proves that being actual present, in small markets as Benelux, can lead to revenue retention and even volume increase...
