Marketing pro Craig Barker is on the PiGs Pod

The latest Two PiGs in a Pod podcast episode, for sister publication PiGs AKA People in Glazing Society, was with Craig Barker, whose marketing agency Koobr has recently merged with Balls2 Marketing.

Founder director at The Joinery Network, Andy Ball set up the expert marketing agency Balls2 Marketing in 2010 with his business partner Sarah Ball. Balls2 Marketing has played a pivotal player in the success since the launch of The Joinery Network five years ago.

The merger of Koobr and Balls2 Marketing sees the benefits of both agencies in offering a broader and more comprehensive range of services, whilst retaining its specialisation within glazing and construction.

On Two PiGs in a Pod, marketing pro Craig gives valuable insights about the merger, how joining the two businesses has created a ‘super agency’, and how he is committed to maintaining its expertise within the sector.
