Specialization in Infrastructure and Public Engagement
Barney & Worth, Inc. concentrates on sectors that are essential to community life: transportation, water infrastructure, storm water management, and waste water systems. The agency’s work often involves large-scale public infrastructure planning, where effective communication can determine whether a project moves forward or stalls. Rather than pursuing broad consumer PR, the firm has carved out a niche in strategic communications for government agencies, environmental consulting firms, and B2B stakeholders. Their approach is grounded in public engagement and community outreach—designing campaigns that educate residents, gather input, and build consensus around often-technical projects.
The firm’s longevity in Portland speaks to its ability to adapt to shifting public policy and funding landscapes. Since its founding, Barney & Worth, Inc. has maintained a focus on public agency services, helping municipalities and regional authorities explain everything from water rate changes to transportation planning initiatives. This specialization requires not only communications expertise but also a deep understanding of regulatory environments, funding mechanisms, and the concerns of diverse communities.
