OsbornBarr, founded in 1988 with four employees and a single account, has a staff of more than 175 professionals today. We are the largest agricultural and rural focused marketing communications agency in North America with U.S. offices in St. Louis and Kansas City.
We know the agricultural industry inside and out. Though the company has recently celebrated its 23rd year of business, the expertise actually began long before the company opened its doors as co-founders, Joe Osborn and Steve Barr, worked in various marketing and advertising positions for Monsanto and John Deere. Since then, the agency has hired personnel who are not only experts in the marketing and branding field, but many O&B employees were either raised on or currently operate a farm. So literally, agriculture is a personal passion for us.
