I'm Billy Barnes. This site shows some of my work as a Creative Director and Copywriter. If you were looking for Billy Barnes the composer, the one who had the hit song “Too Long At The Fair,” that’s not me. That’s a different guy who looked like Buddy Ebsen. I’m told I look more like Tim Robbins. I guess I'd rather look like Tim Robbins than Buddy Ebsen.
Things I’m good at: Being nice to work with. Seeing things differently. Leading, motivating and inspiring teams. Fostering young creative talent. Developing strategies and bringing those strategies to life in memorable, effective ways. Building brands. Building trust. Building revenue. Finding ways to connect with consumers on an emotional level. Coming up with ideas and selling them. Figuring out what a brand stands for, what its place is in the world, and who its best customers are. And creating work that’s interesting. Otherwise, what’s the point.
