Grab your headphones, marketing enthusiasts! 🎧 60 years ago this month, Bill Fromm flipped the switch, and Barkley (Now BarkleyOKRP) was born in Kansas City. Bill, a local boy turned Northwestern journalism grad, returned home and opened the agency’s doors on June 1, 1964. Tune into the latest episode of Kansas City Marketing Legends, where Bill shares tales of Barkley's early days in the auto parts world, launching a real estate empire, selling fancy German beer, and that game-changing Sonic Drive-In win. Hosted by our very own Sam Meers and Barkley alum Mike Swenson, this episode is packed with stories that’ll make you smile, laugh, and maybe even inspire your next big idea. Don’t miss out on the origin story that started it all: https://hubs.la/Q02BsjN50 Cheers to Bill for lighting the way 60 years ago and igniting thousands of careers since!
