BarkleyOKRP is what independence looks like at scale: 600+ people, $1.1B in media billings, zero holding-company ownership, and a client list (Burger King, Macy's, Red Lobster) most networks would envy. The 2024 Barkley-OKRP merger fused Kansas City's brand depth with Chicago's creative swagger.
Their 'whole brand' thinking plus in-house media (MissionOne) makes them a legitimate alternative to holding companies for national accounts, with B Corp values as a differentiator.
