9 years to infinity—
It’s been a wonderful journey.

After nine years in business, we’re saying farewell to BROWNBAYLOR™. We built this agency in Richmond around a belief that creative work could help a community tell its own story. The we in WE MAKE HISTORY™ has always included the people who built with us.

The Arthur Ashe Boulevard initiative put us on the map. We led the brand and creative strategy for the renaming and dedication, joining Arthur Ashe's family and local advocates who had spent years upholding and continuing Arthur's legacy through social justice. On June 22, 2019, we made history! Thousands gathered on the lawn of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture to attend this monumental event. Arthur Ashe Boulevard became the gateway to the River City. What a win for RVA!

To our clients who trusted us with their stories, the collaborators who challenged us to go further, and the neighbors who showed up and told us what mattered to them, thank you. To our families, thank you for standing with us through the late nights and everything that came with building a business.

As we take our next steps, we intend to continue as leaders and influencers in Richmond’s creative community by sharing these experiences, opening doors for emerging creatives, and helping local organizations turn good ideas into vehicles that reach the people they serve.

Richmond, it was an honor to make history with you.

With gratitude,
The BROWNBAYLOR™ Team
