WHO ARE WE?

At The Barn we create and promote brands; not just print ads, not just websites, not just logos (although we do those things too). We create entire images for businesses. We over-deliver —which our accountant hates, but our clients love.

Our Awards

Our Team

Our unique difference is our structure. We are not some mega agency with huge overheads. Our founder Nick is the only “full time” employee of The Barn. This agency is made up of freelancers, contractors, and partnerships with other small firms to get the best work for the best price. While some see this as a weakness, it is actually a strength. You are not handcuffed by the personnel of a traditional agency – We custom build the agency to your needs for every project. You aren’t paying for people and talent that is not associated with your job or jobs.

Shoot us a message and we will gladly give you a breakdown of our current long term and “regular” team members.

JOIN OUR TEAM

I want to create something we call a “franchise brand.” Like a franchise player, it is something you base your team around. A brand that will not only stand the test of time, but make an emotional connection to fans and a community.”
