Barkley is the largest employee-owned advertising agency in the U.S. Ownership has its advantages. It allows us to attract national talent, retain that talent and increase every partner’s passion because they have a financial stake in client and agency success. Our independent structure means we can invest in our clients, talent and resources in ways others can't.

Services:
Barkley is a full-service agency with 340 partners. We operate under one P&L, which means clients are given strategies that make sense for their bottom line, not ours. Products and services include: advertising, public relations, cause branding, brand activation, relationship marketing, social media, design, media planning and buying, motion graphics, research and interactive marketing.

Culture:
Barkley is brimming with personality: “mustache contests”, ping pong tournaments (our CEO is a die-hard) and Boulevard Wheat beer on tap (hey, it’s advertising). Our location has personality, too. Located in the former headquarters of TWA, its got a three-story-tall rocket ship on the roof originally placed there by Howard Hughes. We have an extensive art collection, a rooftop deck and garden and our very own theater. Barkley is proud of its steadfast commitment to corporate social responsibility, and we guide many of our clients with their commitment as well.

Philosophy:
Barkley exists to help make our clients’ brands irreplaceable. There are some things people can't live without; whether it's their favorite restaurant, magazine, car or ice cream. Barkley ensures our clients’ brands are on that list.
