Barrie Barton

Barrie Barton is a poster pin-up boy for the slasher generation. Urbanist/publisher/marketeer and now apparently a trend forecaster as well. In 2005 he started Right Angle Publishing which delivers the seminal sub-cultural guides for Australia’s major cities, and NowNow which is a trend focussed site providing insights into counter-culture. NowNow was recently voted one of the top 50 global online innovators by Dazed and Confused and has featured regularly in WGSN. Right Angle also produces print custom publications for brands such as Levi’s, the City of Melbourne and Tourism Victoria.
Barton formed creative agency We Are Hunter when he realised that the talents in the studio were capable of producing ideas well beyond the scope of publishing. From a rooftop cinema that they own in the heart of Melbourne, to working with brands such as MINI and Fosters, We Are Hunter builds meaningful dialogues between brands and inner-urban audiences in whatever way fires the imagination.
