About About

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.”
— Stacy Epstein | CMO | Freshworks

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
