Brunswick Group is handling Burger King, majority-owned by Brazil's 3G Capital, in its deal to merge with Canadian institution Tim Hortons.
The deal is the highest profile "inversion" scheme to reduce US federal taxes.
In the event BK has it its way, the combination would rank as the globe's No. 3 quick-service restaurant chain with sales of $22B.
The burger joints and donut shops would operate independently with a corporate shell situated north of the border in charge of support functions.
3G would own a majority stake in the new entity. It maintains the top rationale for the hook-up is for Hortons to tap into BK's global marketing savvy to back its international growth.
Brunswick senior partner Steve Lipin and director Radina Russell provide media support to Miami-based BK.
Scott Bonikowsky, senior VP/corporate, PA & government affairs, is their counterpart at Hortons in Oakville (Ontario).
