Who We Are

Since 1985, Barclay Communications has helped major companies reach local, regional and national consumers through integrated marketing services – public relations, advertising and promotions – seamlessly held together by brand strategy. It is this global perspective coupled with a commitment to understanding the clients’ market that ensures tangible results.

Where We Came From

Barclay Communications Inc. was founded in 1985 by Mary O’Hanlon, who continues to be the driving force behind the firm’s success. The journey began in regional marketing for several major motion picture studios such as Walt Disney Studios. Barclay was the first Phoenix agency to specialize in this market and remains its leader in the Southwest region.

In 1989, Mary saw an opportunity to apply the aggressive, creative, relationship-driven style of entertainment marketing to consumer public relations. Expanding into the public relations marketing arena with a proven technique gave Barclay a unique edge in the Phoenix marketing landscape.

Today, entertainment is approximately one-fourth of Barclay’s business with the consumer team diversified across various industries including: healthcare, foodservice, financial, media, sports and civic organizations.

For more than two decades, Barclay has grown as a communications agency as a direct result of its successful, first-hand experience promoting key organizations and issues.
