We are (so) proud to announce that Randall Royall, son to Executive Vice President Ro Royall, has verbally committed to Rice University!
This has special meaning to us as Randall’s Great Uncle (Roy Royall), brother to our founder, Bob Royall (1928-2015) played RB/DB for the Owls in 1934-1936.
Randall is a senior at Stratford High School graduating in 2017 and is a Middle Linebacker for the Spartans. Check out his game highlights here.
Wishing you a happy and safe Father’s Day from all of us at BEB-Business Extension Bureau.
BEB was in full force for the 2nd annual George Springer’s All Star Bowling Event benefiting SAY.ORG (Stuttering Association for the Young). All proceeds go to CAMP SAY, a life-changing summer camp for kids & teens who stutter.
This all star event was held at Lucky Strike in downtown Houston and raised over $40K. It was a great way to raise money for an excellent cause and a chance to see a lot of “Who is Who” of Houston.
This is our 2nd year to volunteer and contribute.

We are proud to announce that BEB-Business Extension Bureau has been awarded an Honorable Mention Certificate in this year’s HERMES Creative Awards by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) for our video, #ShowMeRank.
The video was created to promote a contest for our client, RANKRODEO.COM. RANKRODEO sells rodeo themed T-Shirts online and through mobile store fronts that travel to different rodeos throughout the United States and Australia. Social media is a major factor in their marketing strategy and branding. The contest was a search for a model to take part in the semi-annual photo shoot held in Texas. We encouraged their social media audience to upload pictures of themselves wearing the brand and to post using the hashtag #ShowMeRank. The hashtag was used over 14K times and the video was viewed over 3,700 times in the first 90-days of its release.
The Hermes Creative Awards received over 6,000 entries worldwide this year and we are proud to have been recognized by the AMCP.
