Barber Communications helps clients communicate their messages to reach the right audience at the right time. Founded in 2019 by Corey Barber, we support our clients by creating marketing and communications strategies, effective media outreach, speeches, social media campaigns and posts, and websites – or we train them to do strategic communications in-house. As a Berlin-based firm of native English speakers, we offer services globally and specialize in helping non-native speakers communicate in English.

Testimonials


POlicy

We were very pleased with Barber Communications’ advocacy training for our fellows. Corey listened to our needs and delivered a clear and engaging crash course on a complex topic. We hope to work with her again.

Zsuzsanna Végh, The German Marshall Fund

Her policy understanding, knowledge of Oregon politics, and research and writing skills have made Corey an excellent partner. She always delivers quality work on-time and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.

Tom Holt, Managing Partner, The Holt Company

Her theoretical understanding, research experience and critical thinking make Corey an exceptional researcher and editor. I highly recommend her work to any academics looking to polish their writing in English.

Nonprofit

Our team has enjoyed working with Corey so much, we’ve hired her as an employee. She integrated into the team quickly, knows how to write clearly and succinctly about complex topics, and has a keen eye for language. Her PR knowledge has been an asset to our work, and we’re excited to continue working with her.

Anabel Bermejo, former Head of Media & Communications, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights

Corey was a great addition to our advocacy team. By thoroughly researching policy and working with other NGOs, Corey was able to build support for political change in the global health field. She excels in coalition building as well as communication, making her an excellent advocate. 

Philipp Frisch, Head of Berlin Advocacy Unit, Médecins Sans Frontières


Corporate

Corey is dedicated, professional and reliable. With branding and media support, she helped make our first Asian factory opening a success. Her excellent planning contributed to interesting interviews, which were very well prepared and helped enormously. What I like the most about Corey is that she does what she says and won’t let you down. It was a great pleasure to work with her and we have learnt a lot from her.

Erik Trip, former General Manager, Asia Manufacturing, Biotronik

Corey has been excellent to work with. She took the time to understand our business, and tailored her marketing/communications support to our needs. With a sound strategy in tow and training on how to implement it, we have increased our visibility among our target clients and other experts in the field. I highly recommend partnering with Corey and Barber Communications.
