About Hark Full Service Digital company in Burlington, United States
We believe in the power of communication and that design makes a difference. At Hark we want to do what technology was meant to do—help connect you with your audience. The core values of Hark are influenced by founder Jeffrey Harknesss extensive history in the industry: listening to and collaborating with our partners passion for the work and respect for one another. Our goal is not to produce work in an assembly line but to uniquely and specifically engage with each of our partners as individuals; to humanize the digital world by building brands and businesses around real people.
While the Hark team represents a diverse array of skills backgrounds and experiences the threads woven throughout are what Jeffrey calls the things you cant train: passion and enthusiasm. Were excited and passionate about creativity being advocates for our partners relating with people and of course the power of really good design.
With over twenty years of design experience and a lifetime of creativity Jeffrey Harkness founded Hark in 2009. Having been a part of the industry since the early 1990s Jeffreys experience preceded the digital explosion and has encompassed partnerships with hundreds of clients from a broad spectrum of industries and sizes.
In 1994 Jeffrey co-founded California-based Diesel Design and over the course of a decade worked with an extensive list of clients including Wells Fargo Cisco Microsoft Warner Brothers and Lucas Films as well as over 100 Silicon Valley startups. After twelve years of seeing Diesel successfully grow in size and influence Jeffrey had the opportunity to return to his native New England. He was eventually drawn back into doing what he loved most: partnering with clients to help them grow their brands and businesses. Having a greater understanding of where clients are coming from—after running a startup himself—the experience of working with entrepreneurs and business leaders helped create a more robust perspective of client-agency relationship. In 2009 Jeffrey re-booted Hark and has since sought to maintain the unique ethos of client advocacy and collaboration paired with innovation and quality.
