Interbrand

Founded by an Englishman John Murphy in the early 1970’s interbrand began it’s life as Novamark. The first Interbrand office opened in 1979 in New York and shifted it’s focus from product naming to brand strategy and design. Throughout the 70’s and 80’s Interbrand began to open offices throughout the world, including London, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Milan, Los Angeles and Melbourne. All these offering a full range of branding services and brand evaluation –  a concept that Interbrand developed during the 80’s.

In 1993 Murphy sold Interbrand to Omnicom and the firm further expanded it’s reach by acquiring leading brand, design and identity businesses in the  UK, Asia-Pacific, South America, Germany and in South Africa. Today Interbrand has offices in 30 cities in more than 20 countries around the world.
