BlinkJar Media, a Baton Rouge-based inbound marketing agency, has purchased an office on Perkins Road with plans to move its operations there by January 2023.
The acquisition of the 2,300-square-foot building located at 1284 Perkins Road is a move to establish a long-term home for BlinkJar Media in the heart of the city with a vision toward growth and innovation. The property, previously owned by JCW Creative, is located on the corner of Perkins Road and Terrace Avenue and has a unique and diverse history. The building has taken on various identities over its ninety-year life, including a pharmacy, an antique store, and an art gallery. The office is located in Baton Rouge's Garden District, just a short walk from City Park and LSU.
The purchase comes at a unique time for the commercial real estate industry. When the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered workplaces nationwide, society was forced to pivot into an unplanned work-from-home experiment. Nearly three years later, organizations have created new working norms that acknowledge that flexible work is no longer a temporary pandemic response but an enduring feature of the modern working world.
CEO and Founder of BlinkJar Media, Jared Broussard, said, "The culture at BlinkJar has always been about flexibility. From the day we started in 2012, our focus has been on the happiness of our team. The pandemic was not a huge adjustment for us because we had already implemented a flex schedule between the office and home."
With the previous property owner, JCW Creative, offering similar services to BlinkJar, the building was already a perfect fit for a digital marketing agency. "With our established hybrid way of working, this space has the ideal layout for comfort and collaboration between our team and clients," said Jared Broussard. "Over the last several years, we've been looking for a space that represents who we are as an inbound marketing agency and, at the same time, supports our vision of growth in the future. I am confident we have found it."
BlinkJar, Louisiana's first inbound marketing agency, is proud to call Louisiana home. Every team member at BlinkJar has earned a college degree from an in-state university. However, with clients located across the nation, the goal of BlinkJar is to make marketing easier for their partners, regardless of location. BlinkJar Media specializes in search engine optimization, content creation, social media management, digital advertising, and web design.

"It is critical in today's environment to invest in our team, technology, and community," said Jared. "We're confident this office investment will help support our growth and maintain our reputation as Louisiana's leader in inbound marketing services."
