Some design firms focus on specific industries. Not Big Behr. Over the last thirty years, we’ve kept things fresh by working with clients in a wide variety of industries: manufacturing, financial, technology, medical, data services, electrical, funeral home, insurance, higher education, mechanical, construction, telephony, plumbing, healthcare, communities, realty, marketing, dentistry, software, foundations, recreational, toys, computers, transportation, restaurant, brewery, translation—and many more. It keeps us on our toes, but that doesn’t mean we jump from client to client. In fact, many of our clients have been with us for decades.
Current and former clients include: Aegon, Alliant Energy, Berthel Fisher, Brecke Mechanical Contractors, Cedar Brewing Company, Cedar Memorial, Control Concepts USA, Cornell College, CRST, Irontite, Kenwood Records, Lindale Mall, Mercy Medical Center, Mooney Custom Homes, OmniLingua, RUD Chain, Strategic Financial Solutions, Tektivity, TeleCapital, Torus Technologies, The University of Iowa, Utah State University, and Waukesha Cherry-Burrell.
Owner, founder—and as of 2016—a freelance designer happily working out of a condo by Hunter’s Ridge golf course in Marion, Iowa.
After interning at WarrenAnderson Advertising in Davenport, Iowa, Randy graduated from Iowa State University in 1985 with BA in Graphic Design. He was a designer at AdTwo Advertising and Stamats Communications before moving to Parsons Technology, where he worked for five years. As creative director, he managed a 10-person creative team, overseeing copywriting, design and production of national direct mail campaigns, catalogs, product packaging, retail displays, magazine advertising, newspaper ads, and television commercials for multiple products and divisions. In 1994, Bob Parsons sold Parsons Technology to Intuit for $64 million before founding GoDaddy. (Bob Parsons is now worth $2.5 billion dollars!)
Randy founded his design firm in 1994. For twenty-one years, his office was located in the historic First National Bank building in uptown Marion, Iowa, across from Marion Square Park and one short block from Zoey’s Pizzeria. After his business partner of 18 years left in 2016, Randy moved Big Behr to a condo by Hunter’s Ridge golf course.
Randy’s work has garnered numerous awards from the American Advertising Federation: Cedar Rapids-Iowa City, including several “Best of Show” awards and “Best of Category” awards for magazine advertising, outdoor advertising, and direct marketing.
