ABOUT BL

We are a fully integrated advertising agency with a range of core competencies including research, strategic planning, branding, creative, design, production, media, social and PR. As an independent agency, we believe in cultivating genuine relationships that enable trust. And we believe that enables great work. We believe in trimming the unnecessary and delivering results efficiently. It may sound odd, but we try to live in an abbreviated world. In all that we do. As a result, our work is simple, smart and respectful. We hold ourselves to three core tenets.

RESPECT YOUR CRAFT. We do that by fully committing to mastering that craft, whatever it happens to be. We strive to make it world-class. We never stop learning. We’re meticulous. We champion honest feedback by giving and receiving it.

ACT LIKE A PRO. Our clients expect it. We expect it of everyone in the agency. We’re considerate of others and keep our promises. We listen well. We act appropriately. We take initiative. And we exhibit a positive “can-do” attitude.

TRY NEW THINGS. We promote the spirit of Bailey Lauerman innovation through our actions. We look for and pursue the potential in every idea. We stay curious. We explore unknown territories. We have the audacity to suggest the never-tried.
