I'm projecting 800% gains that you could
virtually bank on with BKPG.OB!

Quietly building into a global advertising force buying up profit centers...
The New Mad Men Are Taking Over a $142 BILLION Industry
BKPG.OB could deliver handsome TRIPLE-DIGIT GAINS to investors

I'm urging followers of to Frank's Penny Stocks to buy up
as many shares of BKPG.OB as fast as they can right now. 

Energy companies. High tech companies. Precious metals. They're a dime a dozen these past few years. What I don't often run across is a good buy in the ad game. You can imagine how excited I was to discover a young agency that looks like an Omnicom winner all over again. Agencies have always been cash cows and that's one of the reasons they’re an investor’s friend. The Bark Group (BKPG.OB) is quickly picking up steam as a multinational communication's company...only with a twist.  I'll tell you about that little twist with big advantages in a minute. First, you simply must hear about their rapid rise... In just two years Bark has reached status as the leading innovative agency in the market - and has succeeded in becoming the second best financially performing company in the industry.  Now it's on a mission to replicate that success throughout the U.S. and Europe. These ad guys are on fire! Bark intends to be ranked among the top 10 best and most profitable communications companies within four years. I'm confident these veteran ad guys can do it.

Highly undervalued hidden gem A gem of a discovery, the Bark Group is clearly wildly undervalued.  Trading at under $1.00 a share, the investment firm of Westbrook Strategic Partners recently valued BKPG.OB at $4.33.  Imagine holding $5,000 worth of shares at the current trading price of $0.48 a share...then watching the value rocket to $4 or $5 inside of weeks. You stand to make an 800% return!  Your original $5,000 investment would surge to $45,000! I am confident the Bark Group is headed for Madison Avenue fame - and fortune. When you see their strategic plan, and the growth they’ve experienced in a short time (even under recessionary pressures) it's easy to see why BKPG.OB could be next in line to swipe the Omnicom crown as king of Madison Avenue.

Bark's client list of clients is nothing to woof at
- it's doggone impressive

What impressed me about Bark (BKPG.OB) is that its clients are large and small companies representing a wide range of brands and industries, such as financial services, consumer products, and luxury goods.

Current clients include:

• Jägermeister – alcohol beverage manufacturer

• Grand Marnier - alcohol beverage manufacturer

• Campari - alcohol beverage manufacturer

• Actavis - international pharmaceutical company

• Statoil - a Norwegian petroleum producer

• SimCorp A/S - leading international investment software
   company

• COOP - large supermarket chain in Denmark

• Waterfront Shopping Mall - shopping mall owned by one
   of Denmark's largest real estate firms

• Tulip - fast moving consumer goods company

• Gyldendal - book publisher

NEWS ALERT: Bark Group takes a bite of the Big Apple

Company officials announced that they just created their first U.S. presence - right in the heart of Madison Avenue, playground to the advertising world.  Anyone who’s anyone in the ad game has a presence in the Big Apple.  And the really big agencies - the monster moneymakers on Madison Ave - they're global - just like Bark.

There's a certain cache that goes with the Madmen of Madison Avenue.  Corporations and businesses like to say they have a New York City ad agency.

Perception is everything.

Timing couldn't be more perfect to become a shareholder in BKPG.OB.

With the company’s business strategy that encompasses industry rollups in order to gain clients and market share (just like other big advertising names like Omnicom, InterPublic Group and WPP have done before them) the market conditions and pricing on U.S. acquisition targets have created the perfect storm of opportunity for Bark to start implementing their innovative business model in the U.S.

Roll it up and roll in the dough

Industry rollups are nothing new and watching the success of the great granddaddies of advertising, Bark has opted to grow through mergers and acquisitions as well.  Some may look with skepticism at such a strategy in these times, but those that can see the big picture know that it’s a brilliant strategy.

I took a close look at the way Bark was handling its acquisition-driven growth strategy and I liked what I saw. 

For starters, the company is only acquiring well-established, profitable companies.  Keywords: established and profitable.

So straight out of the gate, Bark already has the strategy working in its favor.

Profitability must be proven for 3 - 5 years and the company must have positive cash flow along with a proven industry track record while being rooted in their local market.

Think about the benefits that bring increased value to the share price:

Expanding internationally is much easier through acquisition and it gives you greater reach with an international profile. When all is said and done, that helps attract even larger contracts from multi-national clients (as we’re already seeing with Bark (BKPG.OB). Acquisitions allow an agency to grow its client base and its market share far quicker and more easily than with organic growth. Worldwide recession has depressed valuations and that makes it less costly to conduct acquisitions. NOW is the time to move for the best returns. There will no doubt be increased consolidation coming in the next 12-18 months in this industry and that will play upon valuations - likely causing an increase, as competition for acquisitions tightens.

Bark has recorded an 86% growth in revenues, reaching $8.0 million. The company forecasts revenues to reach $227.8 million by 2012. This year, plans call for Bark to acquire between 5 and 7 companies with a total of 12 offices by 2012 throughout the U.S. and Europe. With offices in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and now New York City, there's even more opportunity for growth. By all accounts Bark is well on its way to becoming a global force. ...plans call for Bark to acquire between 5 and 7 companies with a total of 12 offices by 2012 throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Who can fault the company for this strategy - it's worked so far. In fact, it helped lead Bark to solid revenue growth.

Making money means turning conventional thinking upside down

Acquisitions are setting the stage but what sets Bark apart from the fierce competition is the company's business model.

You see, before the agency put the cart ahead of the horse, like so many make the mistake of doing, company management decided to turn conventional thinking upside down.

What resulted was an innovative, integrated approach where the company merged the traditional advertising agency with the media agency and the digital agency. When all is said and done, the Bark Group can satisfy its clients’ needs and offer greater cost efficiencies (something that matters a great deal in these market conditions.)

Agencies have long been known to have a greater challenge when it comes to "why they're better than the competition." Most will pull out all the stops in an account review only to try and prove their creative is better. It's a good differentiator, but ultimately it's never been enough.  Your creative walks and out, and there goes your differentiator and your client.

Bark's management have been players in the ad biz long enough to know they had to offer  top talent, as well as more compelling reasons for clients to come on-board.  So Bark set out to take conventional advertising know-how...and turn it upside down.

Unlike how Omnicom, the InterPublic Group and WPP operate, Bark united the traditional agency with the media agency and the digital agency for a total integrated solutions approach.  Now, services such as advertising, media buying, print and broadcast production, interactive and digital media, direct marketing and more, are integrated into each of the company's regional offices under one roof. No longer are they separate groups in far off places where most ad agencies have them.

Bottomline: each branch or satellite office is a clone of the original and highly successful Bark head office in Denmark—each with fully integrated services.

Bark is the first European agency known to take this step and it's projected to be wildly successful.

More effective moneymaking campaigns call for Bark’s secret weapon: the big brain

Bark has a secret weapon for creating more effective campaigns: the engagement of brain research, also known as "inner discourse phenomenon".  Hodge podge and hocus pocus… or is it the real thing? You may be surprised.

Here's how the big brain thinking goes:

By dominating a consumer's inner dialog you ensure your brand has a strong anchor in consumers' minds.  A strong anchor creates authoritative brand positioning in the mind.  That's why Bark has partnered with a brain research company called Mindmetic - a company collaborating with brain scientists all over Europe.

 In a nutshell, Mindmetic has developed ways to interpret and decode conscious and subconscious human emotions that arise when people are subjected to different messages.

That's like holding the key to the Holy Grail - you can actually crawl into someone's mind!

Using creativity and science to create more effective marketing campaigns is smart, innovative thinking.  Of course, the more effective the campaign, the more revenue realized. The more revenue realized means increased business and greater client loyalty—all key factors in an agency’s success. Best of all, increased revenues, more business and greater client loyalty all mean one thing to investors like me and you: increased shareholder value.

Current outlook on ad spending and revenues:
buy when there's blood in the streets

I’m a straight shooter so I’m not going to tell you everything is perfect. We’re in a recession. Clearly it has affected ad spending and consequently, ad revenues as expected. Moving forward, however, the outlook is brighter.

While ad spending dropped worldwide this year, industry expert ZenithOptimedia is projecting spending will grow by 1.5% in 2010 and by 4.5% in 2011 with the online sector expecting even higher expenditures.

In Europe, online advertising is expected to grow more than 7% in 2010 and by 15% in 2011, reports Marketer’s Internet Ad Barometer.  In the U.S., Market Research firm IDC projects U.S. online ad spending will rise 5.6% and 6.6% in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

As we push through challenging times, the outlook is clearly brighter and better moving forward. I can’t think of a better time to snap up this bargain and buy like there’s blood in the streets. Our current outlook spells good news for Bark (BKPG.OB) as the company expands and moves toward hot shot status on Madison Avenue.

Upside to the downside:
New business bringing agencies new profits

Such as the world may be, there is still business to be acquired and accounts to be won.  Look at Omnicom. Recently the agency walked about with $97 million in new wins from the likes of Reebok, Glidden and Philips to name a few. Another $91 million in wins went to WPP from clients such as Hotels.com and Intercontinental Hotels and $27 million in net wins was realized by the InterPublic Group. In talking with industry insiders, I also learned something interesting about the ad business: clients like to hear about the new kid on the block…the latest hot shot creative group or the newest expert in digital media that’s all the buzz in the industry.  Yet another benefit that the Bark Group has going for it.  As Bark establishes themselves and their offices as creative dynamos and experts in every area of advertising and marketing communications, the big money clients are going to sit up and take notice.
