about us
For nigh on 20 years we’ve been hell bent on providing high quality, top performance creativity and execution without needing big budgets.
We’re an understated and efficient marketing and PR agency with low overheads, enabling us to be highly competitive and completely transparent.
What our clients get is a highly experienced, multi-skilled team of plain speaking and motivated marketeers, PRs, creatives, designers, developers, film makers and project managers that turn your investment into tangible results.
Clients
We believe it’s as important to be as knowledgeable in the market sectors our clients operate in as it is to develop effective PR and marketing campaigns for them. This includes spending time to understand underlying and future market trends so that our clients are able to exploit opportunities and speak authoritatively when talking to their customers, industry peers and the media.
Our Team
Our team is made up of experienced marketing and communications talent, with a broad background within both the client and agency sides. This means we understand too well the challenges faced by marketers who are constantly tasked to do more with less. It also means we have the know-how and tools to meet those challenges.
We, therefore, think as marketing managers for your brand, with as keen an eye for cost savings and maximising the potential, as you would expect from somebody working in-house.
Established in 2004, Barking Dog was founded by Samantha and Nigel who, having been frustrated by agencies employed by and employed with, felt there was a gap in the market for an agency that offered a more personal service, a clear plan of action and passion for doing a good job – and all without blowing the bank.
Senior Team
We are a core leadership team of three but supported by a cast of talented PRs, marketeers, designers, film-makers, writers, event managers and techies.

Prior to co-founding Barking Dog, Nigel held senior marketing & communications roles within some of the world’s leading telecoms, consumer electronics, consumer durables and travel technology companies. Nigel also has a wealth of experience in sales and business development, including start-ups and listed businesses.

Samantha Langston
Consumer & Retail Practice Leader
Before moving over to the agency side, Samantha had over 15 years’ product and service marketing experience within major blue-chips in the publishing, airports, retail and fashion sectors. As well as her creative copywriting and sales promotion expertise, Samantha is also responsible for helping our clients organise and implement conferences & exhibitions, corporate hospitality, photographic shoot production and press events.
