What to expect from the B&C team
Engaging with Barker & Christol means you get a full-service team. We don’t provide cookie-cutter ideas and solutions. We look at all angles with a broad base of experience and advertising know-how.
We have all the core competencies you’d expect from a leading agency—but our temperament, personality and ability to ask the right questions and get to the heart of the problem is what we think really sets us apart.
Partners, Brooks Christol and Steve Barker
