How We Came into Being

The world of business has undergone a seismic shift in the last 20 years. Today, great brands come in all shapes and sizes, from optimistic startups, to companies that want to pivot in a new direction, and either engage in a new market or expand their horizons. It’s a daunting new environment, for sure. But those challenges are what motivate us. If you have a dream, we would love to help you realize it, and bring that vision into the marketplace on a multitude of efficient platforms.

Testimonials

“Doug has an uncanny ability to translate client business-speak into spot-on messaging for the defined audience.  What we initially ask for isn’t always what we want, and he is the ‘client-whisperer’ able to turn the ask into the perfect deliverable.”

-Kim James – Senior Director – Global Center of Excellence, Merchandising & Marketing, Circle K

“Doug is able to create work that is both spot on for the brand, but also highly engaging for the retail target audience. He’s a storyteller, with insight, wit, and a depth of marketing knowledge.”

-Loren Rhoads (President – Rhoads Group)

“When you want work that is highly creative, that engages and connects with your demographic audience, Doug Hardee is the go-to source. He does his homework and then some. Our campaign for CFO of Florida helped win 64 of our state’s 67 counties. That’s market penetration on a grand scale. We’re all reaching for the stars, Hardee Group can help you get there!”
