Shelby Haydon Email Address

Director of Growth

Barkley is the largest employee-owned advertising agency in the U.S. Ownership has its advantages. It allows us to attract national talent, retain that talent and increase every partner Es passion because they have a financial stake in client and agency success. Our independent structure means we can invest in our clients, talent and resources in ways others can't.

I am passion-driven to absorb the world around me, to further educate myself, and hone my skills. I enjoy challenges because they allow me to grow, and not settle for a comfort zone. I am a mix between a creative mind and a strategic thinker. I am detail-oriented and lover of lists by nature. I aim towards perfection in everything I do, although true perfection, and finished work do not exist; I always wonder how what can be improved. I value transparency, innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and a good sense of humor. I am a lover of the outdoors, happy hours, and have a passion popcorn.
