Chris Barbauld on The Barbauld Agency’s Success

“Every business has a story to tell. We feel that it’s our job to help clients tell that story in a unique, engaging way that will make people want to do business with them.”

“I have always known I wanted to own my business,” says Chris Barbauld, founder and president of The Barbauld Agency. “In 2009, I started a local advertising business selling ads on the back of real estate flyers. Once I sold an ad, I would sit down with the business owner and create a marketing plan for their business. Realizing that this was my true calling, I quickly transitioned into a full service marketing and advertising agency.”

It wasn’t long before Chris realized he needed a partner in the business. In early 2012, he added Molly Randolph to the team, and the two have built the company into a successful agency.

Molly describes what she attributes to their success:

“Our greatest strength and, where we excel, is in producing real, measurable results for our clients. First, we devote the time to really learn and understand our clients’ business. Next, we figure out the best way to reach their target market and develop a customized marketing plan that is specific to them and captures their brands’ voice.  Finally, and most importantly, we spend our clients’ money as if it were our own. We don’t just set a campaign and forget about it.  We check it often and make adjustments if it is not performing to our standards.

Evidence that these strategies are working is demonstrated by the agency’s ranking on Clutch; a site which ranks businesses across industries based on the quality of client reviews. Following are the client reviews on Clutch.

Here’s what Rich Glass, co-owner of The Flippin Designer,  has to say about the The Barbauld Agency’s team.

“The whole team is just really incredible. Chris and Molly are obviously the face of the company, but they have an entire operation of people who are phenomenal to work with as well. It is incredible to know that I can pick up the phone any day of the week and they’ll take care of whatever I need.” — Rich Glass, Co-Owner, The Flippin Designer

Chris reflects, “When I look back on where we started and the expertise we have now, I could not be prouder.  I am so grateful to our amazing team and how much we’ve accomplished together, as well as to our clients for taking the time to leave such awesome feedback on Clutch.”

Chris would like to share some words of wisdom from one of his professors, Dr. Hugh Daubek, that has continued to inspire him: ‘No business works without great marketing.’”
