Bar Mode is the secret Swiss Army Knife™ for established companies nationwide. I'm sure you've seen, purchased, experienced or used our work already.
Hiya!
If you’ve made it this far and are asking “what is Bar Mode”… well then, we’re not sure what you’re doing here. Nonetheless, welcome! We are a tech design company.
What does that mean? We design the car that you drove to work in. You look at the heads-up display in your auto, we designed that as well. Uh-oh, the low-gas alert icon (that we designed) is lit… better stop at a gas station. Look at the 19 ads plastered on, over and around the gas pump. We designed those ads. You drag a disposable coffee cup off the top of the stack to get that well lit coffee dispenser (that we designed). The cup feels comfy and easy to hold onto. Yup, we did that. You eyeball the cashier’s cool outfit. Yup. That holiday packaging for that candy bar? Yup. There’s a radio commercial blaring over the speakers, we wrote, performed and recorded that jingle. That’s the same jingle from the television commercial that we filmed and edited, too. If you grab that WSJ, we have 15 separate client ads running in that edition. You haven’t even gotten to work yet, and you’ve run into our work more times than you could count.
We work under the radar of others thanks to the lack of advertising on our part. We simply do not have time for ourselves. We’d love more work! I would love to hire more employees and give them living wages.
