BDA continued its upward trend in 2025, recording over 17% growth that co-founder and CEO Jay Deutsch attributes largely to the acquisition and integration of SwagUp and Harper + Scott. He also points to marquee events taking place in the U.S. throughout 2026 as major revenue opportunities. “We also saw a breakout year in our sports division,” says Deutsch, a member of the Counselor Power 50, “supporting some of the world’s biggest stages, including the Olympics, the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup, delivering global merchandise and branded solutions at scale.”
