A boutique, multi-disciplinary agency, Spencer Barr brings together business mentoring and financial advice, and digital, advertising and marketing power.
Our story begins with a Win.
In the heyday of advertising the grandfather of Spencer Barr’s founders, Wilfred Winston Buckland (Win), worked on marketing for brands including Edmonds, Shell Oil, Bovril, Dulux, and Watties.
Win was a man with diverse skills, endurance, and a very sharp intellect. An ex-serviceman, he not only survived his ship being bombed but saved a comrade after hours in the sea without lifejackets. Win’s talents were diverse and he had many passions. He was a gifted water polo player, and a mathematician. He loved new ideas, new cultures and, above all, his family. Win also had a strong creative streak. He named Fido Dog Food and Felix Cat Food – breakthroughs in their day which became market leaders.
Win believed in delivering value, one of his traits Spencer Barr has inherited.
Today, at Spencer Barr, Win’s ability to integrate creativity, strategy, and finance is combined with digital and web specialization, thanks to a diverse, experienced, and collaborative team.
We’d like to think Win would’ve been onboard.
We hope you will be too. (That’s a Win/win.)

Markets are fluid.
We believe, to be successful, businesses must embrace change and take an ambidextrous approach; performing and transforming at the same time, through innovation and problem solving.
There’s a great American saying from the mid 1800s which has many iterations and interpretations: “fish or cut bait”.
The answer: do both NOW!
Looking behind, while looking ahead. Constantly challenging, absorbing, listening and learning.
That is the key to growth and vitality now, and into the future.
