We are practitioners of brand truth.
House of Who is an arthouse and agency founded on the belief that your truth is your greatest asset and you don't have to be fake in order to succeed.
LET's GET REAL
brands make a difference in the world. what kind of impact is yours making?
We think that when you are truly yourself, everybody benefits. This goes for business, too. People fall in love with honesty. Teams obsess over missions they actually care about. And your competitors—well, they simply can't replicate the soul of your brand because there's nobody else like the real you.
Our truth?
We're artists who work in branding because that's where we can make the biggest difference. We're keen on using identity as a way to reveal the beautiful humanity behind brands.
Truth benefits your bottom line, people’s lives, and the world.
TEAM
Shannon DeJonG, ARTISTCEO
You're looking for decades of naming expertise and Tetris-like strategic brains? Creativity worth a million suns? Or maybe just a little common sense?
Game on.
We work and play with a ruthless hunger for Truth. (Yes, with a capital T.)
All of us have eclectic backgrounds that help us keep it real in business and life. As for me, I'm part artist, part corporate American, and part Zen Buddhist. I'm an actor and a business owner. And I believe that being our whole, true selves doesn't just make us happier. It makes us really (really) good at what we do.

ARTISTCEO
A podcast that asks the question: Can business and art live in harmony?
Host Kerri Lowe documents Shannon's journey as she attempts to integrate her two selves (her "artist" self and her "professional" self) in order to become one self - an ArtistCEO. Listen in to enter the mind of a newly-minted CEO doing business sans MBA...but with a background in performance art and Zen Buddhist philosophy.
Part narrative documentary, part performance art, part live-your-values kick-in-the-pants — ArtistCEO is made for anyone who is trying to make business and art play nice. It's time to integrate.
ARTISTIC PARTNERS
ROBIN PURO
Robin Puro is a ceramic artist who specializes in the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, or repairing broken ceramics with streams of gold. Instead of hiding the imperfections of our pasts, kintsugi highlights these cracks and breaks, transforming them into the very thing that makes the piece (and the person) uniquely beautiful.
