The 1960s signalled an exciting era of change for the city.
It was a decade that saw the opening of the Bull Ring Shopping Centre, the construction of the Rotunda and Ringway Centre that define the inner-city skyline, the Beatles came to town, and Villa Park hosted matches in the 1966 World Cup.
At the same time, Wyatt International opened its doors for the first time.
Wyatt International, Birmingham’s longest established and fully independent marketing agency, is now celebrating its 60th anniversary.
The agency has been providing multi-channel marketing support for its global B2B clients since 1964 and is recognised by PRWeek as one of the top 15 agencies outside London and a leading agency in environmental, social and governance (ESG) marketing.
From its beginnings in marketing and advertising, Wyatt International has grown to be a full-service bilateral B2B marketing agency and consultancy delivering multi-channel strategies and campaigns for clients in complex and competitive sectors.
Under the direction of founder Brian Barrett, and Karen Bernie, CEO, with approaching 35 years of service, Wyatt International has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible.
Specialising in sectors including construction, industrials and manufacturing, the agency has won many awards and earned regular placements in industry rankings.
The agency also has a proud history of firsts: the first independent agency in Birmingham and the first to become the region’s number-one B2B specialist.
Most recently, the business became the first Birmingham-headquartered agency to become employee-owned, building on its family-run heritage to secure its future as an independent partner to clients around the world.
“Our 60th anniversary is an incredibly proud moment, both for our business and for me personally,” said Karen Bernie, CEO of Wyatt International.
“We’ve got a lot to celebrate from the past six decades, not least our position as the longest-established independent agency in Birmingham and the incredible work our teams have delivered.
“Last year, we embraced employee ownership to continue the legacy of our agency and allow for future succession planning while preserving our company’s family heritage. So, as well as reflecting on our achievements to date, our 60 th anniversary is the perfect time to look ahead and celebrate everything the future has to hold for us.”
