Our Story
For years we thought we had to work in the same way every other creative agency did, but something always felt a little ‘off’. In our personal lives we understood the power of honesty and candour, but why did it feel impossibly brave to speak truth through our business? We had some work to do, so we rolled up our sleeves, checked our egos, did our own personal work, and asked ourselves some brave questions–– that’s when it came to us: what if we gave our clients that same space?
Since 2015, Harc Creative has been helping organizations step into their own light. Through facilitated discovery, organizational development, strategic visioning and creative direction, we empower businesses to present themselves to the world with authenticity and joy.
