Picaroons

PICAROON

noun

  • a rogue or scoundrel (archaic)

  • a pirate of privateer (historical)

Picaroons are a social media marketing crew built on pirate principles, founded by James Berg.

James has been with us since joining the crew on the Golden Hinde, and it’s been a pleasure to see him set up on his own. In short, we like Picaroons not just because its pirate themed, but because:

  • They use humour as a vital ingredient of marketing - social media can definitely take itself a bit too seriously.

  • James works with brilliant start ups like Behind Bras who are supporting former female prisoners to establish careers in the fashion and retail industries.

  • They offer lots of great, free resources, and will help any charity free for two hours every Friday.

  • The crew is a testament to scaling through collaboration, instead of pursuing growth. By connecting a loose network of self-employed creatives, Picaroons can deliver high quality work when a brief comes in, while staying agile and independent.

We challenge all the systems, processes and narcissism that has cursed social media marketing. We focus on efficient processes, straight-talking communication, simple strategies and stand out creative. 

We are building a network of creators who are geniuses at their craft and don’t conform to the rules of the establishment. We are from all different backgrounds and walks of life, but are all bound by a passion for creating work we can be proud of, that always achieves your business objectives.
