About LBi

LBi is a leading full service digital marketing agency, providing creative, multi-channel strategies and solutions for blue-chip clients around the world. The company has offices in 11 countries and employs more than 1,450 people.

Netrank was acquired by LBi in January 2008.

LBi's History

LBi's roots go back to 1996, when a company called IconMedialab was founded in Stockholm. Between 1996 and 2001, IconMedialab carried out projects for a number of prestigious clients such as Canon, Fujitsu, LEGO, Coca-Cola and Nestlé, and expanded to the point where it had more than 1,700 employees.

In January 2002, IconMedialab merged with Dutch web-design and internet marketing specialists Lost Boys to form LB Icon AB. Its client list continued to grow and included household names like Ferrari, MasterCard International, Pirelli, Sony Computer Entertainment and Volkswagen.

August 2006 saw another key merger, when LB Icon joined forces with former competitor Framfab to become Europe's leading digital and interactive agency. The LBi International share was listed on the Stockholm and Euronext exchanges.

The company continued its growth, acquiring five agencies during 2007:

• Vizualize Technologies PVT Ltd (India)
• Creative Digital Group (USA)
• Syrup LLC (USA)
• Satama NL (the Netherlands)
• Iven & Hillman (Germany).

To date, LBI has acquired two further agencies in 2008: Netrank and Belgian Web Analytics agency OX2.
