Who We
Work With
We work with impact-oriented organizations and thought leaders. Whether you’re a small local business or an international nonprofit, we can help amplify your stories.
"Bark Media has transformed how we communicate about our programs and our organization, expanding our audience and enabling us to cultivate a larger, more diverse green chemistry community. What we love about working with Bark is getting access to a strong team of people with various expertise, including marketing strategy, design, and copywriting. This has helped a small organization like ours expand our organizational capacity – without hiring additional headcount. The results speak for themselves: Bark’s work has increased our newsletter subscribership by over 70%, improved our storytelling capabilities, and elevated the quality of our marketing materials. Additionally, not only has Bark increased our community reach, but with their help, we have attracted new funders and strategic partners. We have loved working with Bark’s team. They are thoughtful, fun to work with, and produce high-quality results even on short deadlines. We would highly recommend Bark to any impact organization."
