Join us in welcoming our new financial coordinator

Join us in welcoming our new financial coordinator, Kai, to the agency. Kai is from New Jersey and while others may be ashamed of that fact, he is yelling it from the rooftops of Montclair. You call it the armpit of America? He calls it the land of good bagels, great pizza, and iconic beaches. But of all the local classics, his favorite food by far is cheesesteak – making us wonder how we ever convinced him to work in the Big Apple instead of Jersey’s neighbor to the west. Kai has a lot of strong, sometimes controversial, opinions (not uncommon for a New Jersian), but one thing we can agree on is that it’s called Taylor Ham, not Pork Roll. And because of that we think you’ll fit in here just fine, Kai.

Asking Elliot to animate this in a day just felt like a really poetic way to celebrate Animation Day. But then actually not posting said animation on Animation Day felt even more poetic. Sorry Elliot.

Our newest media strategist, Rose, comes all the way from Brussels, Belgium and Cape Town, South Africa. (Which sure as hell beats Pittsburgh as a hometown.) Before BARKER, Rose worked at a contemporary art museum and studied the 'art of pricing art.' We figured if she knew how to buy 15 foot wide oil paintings, she probably could handle purchasing :15 radio spots. Her inspiration for making that big career change? COVID and her cousin Leslie – whom we now owe a great debt. Rose has only been full-time now for 2 months, but she's already got us quoting Titanic. Never let go, Rose! Never let go!

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.

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
