Eva is our Director of Communications. She works out of our New York office. Most of the time.
Our PR department, headed by Eva, is unlike any other in the world. As employee number one, Eva was integral in shaping not just the public and press’ opinion of The Barbarian Group at the outset, but indeed how the press covered interactive production companies and interactive agencies at all. She’s been instrumental in laying the intellectual groundwork in the industry for things that we take for granted in traditional advertising – issues like credit where credit is due, attribution, awards, and where interactive creativity comes from (hint: it’s not just the graphic designer).

HBO imagine was a favourite website awards site of the day earlier this month, and boards magazine featured another piece about the project.
and chandler was featured in an interesting boards article about unique titles and job descriptions.
awesome!
another sweet column for 'boards magazine
Traditionally, bumping into a good interactive producer was like finding a mint copy of the Giorgio Morodor & Phil Oakey LP, a record so rare you spent five years looking for it before you found a copy. But The Barbarian Group’s Rick Webb believes the industry has turned a corner in the shortage of quality digital producers. In fact, he even made friends with a really good one recently and didn’t feel the need to offer him a job.

rick's latest column for 'boards magazine
User-generated content was feted as advertising by the people, for the people, but quickly became a byword for bad production values. But no one cares on the Internet, right? Rick Webb begs to differ.
