Barnes Advertising represents a style of agency thinking that predates the performance dashboard, the attribution model, and the quarterly OKR review. It is grounded in the belief that advertising works when it earns attention rather than buys it, and that the relationship between an agency and a client is a long-term commercial partnership, not a…
