Totally with you, across your business. 

We are a unique company integrating marketing, strategy, and financial and business advice, collaborating across USA, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Porcupines are great creatures, don’t get us wrong, though they can be a bit tricky to deal with. At Spencer Barr we’re all about being sponges.

We listen to each other and to our clients; to markets, to industries, and the people in the regions that shape and influence them. We thrive on that knowledge and feedback. Every meeting, every interaction, improves our understanding and puts us in a better place to deliver what you need.

Our team of professionals has decades of experience in achieving success across many different and varied business, media channels and formats, but we never stop learning and our ears, and minds, are always open.

Bring us a project, or a challenge, and we’ll work with you from there. See you soon.

Here’s what is at our heart; our way of being; what directs how we work, and how we interact with one another, and with our clients.

Our guiding principle

We take the lead.

We are entrepreneurs; a challenger company ourselves. We are bold, courageous, and focused on the prize. We encourage, and enable, others to embrace that attitude.

Our values

Explore; never settle.

Be curious, creative and innovative. Step outside comfort zones. Push boundaries, challenge others, and always speak up.

Who dares wins.

Be bold. Aim high. Take considered risks and seize opportunities.

Go above and beyond.

Be generous, always help out and share knowledge. Remember, small things can have a big impact.

Leadership team

A committed team of professionals, each with our own proven, business success, we are collaborators with, and passionate champions of, the brands and companies we work with. We live them and breathe them.
