Brian Berry
CEO, Creative Strategist
Brian comes from a versatile background encompassing virtually every aspect of advertising, marketing, design and brand strategy.
As Partner and Creative Director he opened B2 in 1999 as a one stop shop that strives to be a lean addition to our clients team — the business has since grown into a full-service marketing agency. “Our challenge is to listen to the stories and experiences of our clients and help focus them into inspirational stories that are unique for them to tell.”
When not in the office (or mobile office) Brian enjoys movies, cycling, woodworking, architecture and hoarding vintage toys and advertisng ephemera.
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Anne Berry
Director, Client Services
Fuelled by a passion for all things mid-mod, Anne considers herself our resident ‘idea gal’ and likes to ponder all angles on a project — clean and modern or otherwise — while keeping a keen eye towards the future.
Having begun her career in advertising as Art Director at Hudsons Bay she designed her way to Creative Director before venturing out along new trading routes that eventually led her to becoming a founding partner at B2.
An avid collector of retro cook books, Anne naturally thinks that the recipe for each project’s success is in mixing ingredients in a surprising way each time to keep our clients work fresh and satisfying.
Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about.

Richard Meaden
Director, Creative Services
Richard is an instinctive solutions guy with a keen eye to detail. He keeps production on track and on brand (which could quickly turn into an educational lesson on what trains were used for the supply lines that fueled the Normandy Breakout).
As our resident Technical Architect Richard builds on his extensive knowlege of production, design, online development and digital strategy ensuring that all projects meet our cutting edge standards.
When the weekend arrives he enjoys relaxing with family and friends to explore the culinary sciences, board gaming and architecture — or unwinds in another dimension with 3D modelling.
Why, I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves.
