#BNetworked: Branger_Briz
With over 7,000 alumni around the world and as well as a reinvigorated desire to showcase our alumni, Belen launched #BNetworked in December 2018.
“The goal of #BNetworked is to highlight companies which are either alumni-owned or have a group of alumni who work together. We aim to showcase how the bonds formed at Belen, regardless of graduation year, unite alumni in both their professional and personal lives,” said Carlos Bravo ‘86, Alumni Association Executive Director.
The next company to be profiled is Branger_Briz. This full-service digital agency is made up of artists, strategists, educators and programmers and is headquartered in Miami.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
