The White Barn isn’t a randomly selected icon of a clever advertising agency; it’s a real place with a real story, just like your brand. It also happens to be a really good metaphor for our philosophy. That’s why it’s our namesake.
The first thing you’ll want to know is that the White Barn is located on a real century old working family farm in rural Michigan. The family that runs that farm today is the very one that raised our founder. As a young man, he learned that everything he needed to succeed was in the White Barn. It was the catch-all for spare parts, new parts, wire, rope, nuts, bolts, you name it. When you had a problem, you went to the White Barn to fix it. It was a place where inspired creative solutions came from.
