Carrie Barker, who oversaw Emap Australia during its sale to ACP before a brief stint with Pacific Magazines, has re-emerged as a partner at fledgling Sydney youth agency The Projects.
Before coming to Australia she worked in the UK for Emap, which was then one of the country’s biggest magazine publishers. Her arrival in Australia in 2007 as Emap Australia’s MD led to her memorable comment that if the company was sold it would be “the ultimate stitch up“. The sale followed weeks later.
The Projects has worked with brands such as Absolut Vodka, Electronic Arts, EMI Music, ING Direct and Stoneleigh Wines.
Another Barker escapes old media publishing to a partnership in agency land. It’s the done thing. Must give you a call and buy you a coffee …
God that’s funny. The photo looks like a CSI promo.
Yuck.
Maybe Carrie can get the boys to re-paint the wall
hmmmmm, wouldn’t it be nice to be in the middle of those 3 male models 🙂
I hope there’s a 4th clown suit.
Barker pimping it with baldy and their two dwarves!
all very top people; best of luck!
That shot is soooooooo gay!
Wow. This photo is part of the problem for agencies. These people may be good at their job (they may also be awful) but it simply isn’t professional. It lacks insight to promote a photo that will make so many prospects ridicule it.
