It's this writer's great pleasure (and relief) to introduce a new writer to the BARKER team – Arjun! He's a Mumbai boy, born and raised – but it's Brooklyn, NY he now calls home. Arjun lives in one of the greatest cities in the world, but his favorite thing about it? The fact that he can have any type of food delivered – thus, letting him stay home to play video games and gaze off into the distance, wondering if life is just a simulation (spoiler: it is). Ever the optimist, Arjun says even when he's terrified, his first instinct is to laugh. Which means that even on a long pitch night, there will always be plenty of laughter.

Another Holy Name Golf Classic in the books.🏌️‍♀️⛳️ And not a bad finish for our foursome, if we do say so ourselves. 💅

We’re proud to partner with Holy Name on and off the green. For 26 years, the Holy Name Foundation has hosted the Golf Classic to benefit their organization. This year, every contribution helped Holy Name continue their fight against COVID-19 as one of the top testing and treatment centers in the country. Learn more about the foundation in our bio.

The em dash is dividing writers (and sentences) all over the world. To use or not to use. But at BARKER? All the writers are in agreement — the em dash is the best punctuation mark. Period. We do argue about the spaces though. #nationalpunctuationday

It’s no secret that BARKERees love making an imp

It’s no secret that BARKERees love making an impact. That’s why we each choose a day once a year to volunteer for the cause of our choice. Whether it’s volunteering at an animal sanctuary, helping with disaster relief, or phone-banking for an election – it’s awesome to see everyone step up in their own ways. Can’t wait to see how everyone else chooses to spend their’s.

We’re so happy to welcome Charles aboard the BAR

We’re so happy to welcome Charles aboard the BARKER team. Charles was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – and at the ripe old age of 2, he knew it was time to leave. So he got as far away as he could and moved to New Zealand for 23 years before joining BARKER. That natural instinct is part of the reason why we hired him as our new Account Director, well that and the accent. Charles loves coffee, working out, and mac n cheese. (Hopefully not at the same time.) And his worst fear is getting stuck in a rush hour subway under the river between Manhattan and Brooklyn... which is weirdly specific and doesn't bode well for our future return to office. Good luck, Charles – and remember you'll always take an L when you take the L.

In a front-page New York Times’ article this wee

In a front-page New York Times’ article this week, John Barker spoke about his decision to move the advertising agency, BARKER, downtown post 9/11. 19 years later, we remain firmly committed. We have always believed in the resiliency of Lower Manhattan and the people who work and live here. And despite the uncertainty, concerns, and challenges of the pandemic, our confidence remains just as strong and passionate as ever. Lower Manhattan will rebound again, and as it does, we will be right here at 30 Broad, cheering our neighbors on.

A year and a half ago we started BARKER Book Club

A year and a half ago we started BARKER Book Club with the purpose of bringing BARKERees together over hors d'oeuvres, wine, and lively discussion. Though our in-person Book Club quickly turned virtual, we’ve still been able to support small book stores, explore tough topics together, and read books we normally wouldn’t reach for. #booklovers #reading
