Barkley is one of the largest independent and 100% employee-owned advertising agencies in the U.S. Our commitment to world-class ideas delivered with the personal attention of a smaller agency will remain unchanged. We create experiences, interactions and brand advocates that help our clients build their business. Barkley’s ability to produce groundbreaking work within the context of an integrated marketing approach is unique. But having a better structure and more experience isn’t sufficient. There has to be something more. For Barkley, it starts with a belief that creativity and innovation can change the world. We don’t think it is enough to add something new, fresh or clever. We believe every corporation we work with has a core purpose - a fundamental reason they do what they do. We want to help brands discover their “why”. Our philosophy is this: We believe we can change the world with the right ideas. In fact, it’s at the heart of our agency manifesto.
