Franco

In 2025, Franco acquired Bianchi Public Relations (BPR) in a purchase that brought together two of the strongest agencies in the automotive and mobility market.

Since 1964, the Franco team has been at the forefront of innovation in our industry and the industries we serve. As we evolve, we’re constantly exploring ways to strengthen our skills and industry expertise to better serve our clients.

We’ve always had deep roots and a strong commitment to the automotive/mobility industry. BPR’s niche focus on providing PR services to auto suppliers and industry associations – coupled with our strong alignment in values and approach to client partnerships – is why we made the decision to acquire BPR.

Combining our two powerhouse teams opens the door to new and exciting opportunities within the auto/mobility sector for both current and future clients.
