At Bark, we believe better Google Ads management starts with better people — not just better software. Bark was founded by Richard Kliskey and Jake Young, two seasoned marketers with over 18 years of hands-on experience in the world of paid media, digital growth, and real business building. We’ve worked with businesses ranging from local service companies to national brands, helping them unlock new revenue through smarter, leaner, and more transparent digital advertising. After years inside traditional agencies, we saw the cracks in overpriced retainers, slow methods, and a lack of accountability. So we built Bark as a solution to the broken agency model, providing high-performance Google Ads management powered by custom-built AI and human strategy.
