About Barbarian:

Barbarian is a digital advertising agency. We exist to champion discovery and architect legends within our agency culture and for our client brands. We reimagine digital narratives, empowering brands to connect with consumers in meaningful ways. Our values drive our actions. 

• Bravery- We base our client relationships on radical transparency - we’re all on one team, and we don’t shy away from expressing direct points of view.

• Resilience- Staying ahead of technology and culture means we have to be confident enough to fail, quickly learn, and then apply that knowledge to our next initiative. 

• Generosity- We are kind-hearted and want to help one another succeed, generous with our time, focusing on the development of our employees and guiding our clients to success outside of day-to-day project work. 

• Hustle- We embody speed, agility, and responsiveness in our work, maintaining a strong presence in digital culture.
