The origins of Starberry go back to 1986, when brothers Ben and Rus Sellers formed a corporate identity agency called Blueberry.
Over the next fifteen years, with the pace of change in technology producing a current of new methods of design and marketing, the agency evolved rapidly, spawning new business units almost every year, each focusing on different media and production techniques, corporate logos and brand books, brochure design and print; CD ROMs and Interactive Kiosks; Global Promotional Product Sourcing; TV and poster campaigns; Portals, Web Sites, Games and eCommerce.
These collective operations serviced some of the world’s most prominent and successful companies: Philip Morris, CNN, Kraft Foods International, Duracell, Cable & Wireless, Boosey & Hawkes, Telewest, The Design Council and Ben & Jerry’s. A growing roster of awards and press coverage matched the calibre and depth of the clients; but the burgeoning success of one business after another called for a new, more focused approach.
In May 2001, a new venture was established. Starberry (the original Navaho word for a blueberry) combines all the skills and experience of the previous fifteen years, not within a group of companies as before, but divided between a central management company and a network of independent suppliers, ranging from listed corporations to self-employed individuals, drawn primarily from a rich supply of former employees and commercial relationships accumulated over more than a decade.
Today, 20 years on, Starberry is proud to boast it has retained its position at the cutting edge of the world of digital communications. Employing hundreds of professionals across the globe, centrally managed through its unique web based collaboration suite – The Starberry Hub facilitates real time communication for Starberry Clients & Partners which makes for the perfect environment for developing ‘Award Winning’ Online Business.
