We're the biggest small agency in the world.

Big is good.

Big is capabilities, resources, and a deep bench. Big is global perspective and cool offices in places like São Paulo or Perth.

Small is good, too.

Small is speed and senior attention. Small is efficiency and treating every at-bat like there’s two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

In the old world, circa March 2020, clients had to make a choice. In the new world, circa now, you don’t.

Barrett Hofherr is both small and big. Smig, if you will.

We have full-time employees in eight cities. We have best-in-breed partners specializing in everything from media buying to event planning to PR. And we do business around the world, through our relationship with TheNetworkOne.

Big has its benefits. Small has its strengths.

Like no other agency in the world, we’re committed to being both.

Our philosophy

You want to go far, we’ll seek to take you farther. You want to go high, we’ll seek to take you higher. We’re not saying there are no dark tunnels out there. We’re just saying there’s an end to all those tunnels, and we’ll not only get there, we’ll help you find the light.

Our process

We work fast, the world demands that. But we don’t just huddle once, knock out a solution, and head for the parking lot. Our process is fluid. We lay out the situation. We listen and learn. We go deep and wide with our solutions. And then we do it all again. Your brand and your business are constantly in motion, and so are we.

Our powers

We are an independent, full-service, creatively-driven advertising agency. Our mission is to do the best work of our lives, make our clients incredibly successful, and have a positive impact on the world. If there’s a mission more ambitious than that please let us know, we’ll probably go for it. Meantime, when you have a moment, check out all the things we do.

“With a looming IPO and a brand new marketing leadership team, we needed urgent help. We had some sense of the spirit of Freshworks and where we could differentiate, but the challenge was how to articulate in a way that could be amplified to the world. You helped us do just that. Between Times Square and CNBC, we were able to raise our brand up out of India and onto the world stage. And now, we're off to the races. Thank you team, we look forward to the next chapter with you.”

— Stacy Epstein | CMO | Freshworks

— Marc Lore | Serial Entrepreneur / Founder | Telosa

“As I reflect over the last few months of our relationship I just can't be more excited by what has happened. We hit it out of the park! We did an amazing job getting Coupa into the mainstream by really up-leveling our brand presence — across the board. Everybody from my high school classmates to the CEOs of some of the world's biggest companies have complimented us on our campaign. Thanks a lot guys for helping us up-level our game."

“When we started our search for an agency to help with our holiday campaign, we knew we were looking for a strong team who would be partners with us. What we noticed about you is that they truly work as one team. Leaning on each other's strengths to solve problems together. We were very appreciative of the partnership and success of the campaign. Not only did it get great internal praise from our executive team, but also showed brand success with our new and returning customers.”

— Kristen Coast | Director of Creative Production | Redbubble

“I want to thank you again for all of your hard work. The brand awareness videos have served us well! 74% reported an increase in brand trust, 85% reported a positive opinion change, and 81% reported increased company interest. I take all of this as more evidence creativity pays off in the B2B space.”

— Cate Newsom | Senior Director, Global Brand Strategy | Freshworks

The relationship that I have personally built with the team is definitely special. Beyond receiving consistently great work from the team, I have enjoyed getting to know each of you as people. I appreciate the comradery, the down-to-earth attitude, and the collective sense of humor - something you all know is high on my list of good qualities!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with great agencies over the years but none of them come close to the quality of work you delivered. A company's growth is dependent on fully understanding the mission, vision, values, and identity of an ever-expanding team and market. The agency was able to capture and help us tell our story in a meaningful and differentiated way. Thank you for helping us lay the creative foundation for our next stage of growth.”

— Kyle Lacy | SVP of Marketing | Seismic

COVID kept people in their homes too much, and the team tapped into "home empathy" – our houses were a little tired of us, too. This led to a fun, playful, irreverent campaign that won at the award shows.”

— Ron Sandel | General Manager | Hotel Tonight/Airbnb

— Dana Andrew | Brand Marketing | Special Olympics

"The strategy, context, collaborative process and creative thinking you brought to the table enabled us to collectively develop and then align on a vision, mission, value proposition, name, logo and visual identity.
