Ahhh autumn, the time for new beginnings… oh wait, no, that’s spring. 

Well, regardless, autumn at birr is now a time for a new beginning. Many changes have happened over the last couple months, and it’s time to push forward with renewed direction and focus of growing birr as a digital agency. 

As most of you all know by now, Jude has started a new career adventure, and in doing so has said goodbye to birr. We’d like to thank Jude for his time with birr, in helping the company become established, and grow to where we are now. Let’s all want to wish him the very best in his new career direction! 

As we put the pandemic behind us, we have taken stock of the opportunities it has presented to the marketing landscape.  The changes brought on by the last two years have meant we have had to adjust how we deliver work here at birr. The biggest opportunity recognized globally is the capacity to execute work remotely. There has been a realization that our team can deliver effective digital marketing services from around the globe. As a digital agency, we intend to always have Fernie as our home base. As we continue to build a company culture that promotes exploration, experiences and making the most of opportunities that present themselves, a shift to a digital agency is the best fit. To do that, we have migrated to a fully remote work environment. We no longer require staff to be based out of our Fernie office, and over the last 8 months, our team has delivered from England, Greece, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, and India. We can’t wait to see where they will visit next!

We are also shifting our business’s focus towards digital marketing on a retainer structure. This service model allows our clients to scale up, or down, their needs as their business fluctuates. birr is still passionate about our project focused work, such as website builds, branding and creative projects, but our new way of work will allow for us to help a more diverse range of clients achieve their marketing and business growth goals. We are expanding beyond the Kootenays, but never forgetting our local clientele. With two clients having now used our services to grow and achieve successful exits for their founders (read about them here and here), we see tremendous potential for this model in helping other clients achieve their bigger business goals.

As the world of business is going more digital, and more global, we are here to support your journey. We have the demonstrated expertise to develop successful marketing strategies, supporting their execution, and building relationships that last. If you want to take your business to the next level, give us a call.
