March Came in Like a Lion for Harrington Design Company

March Came in Like a Lion for Harrington Design Company

“If the next three years are anything like the last three, we’ll need to hire more designers and support staff. I’m definitely going to hire another graphic designer in the third quarter of this year.”

JACKSONVILLE (PRWEB) April 8, 2004

A brand new corporate office headquarters in the RiverplaceTower. A brand new team member. And a brand new regional client.

Not a bad month for brand identity firm, Harrington Design.

Founded two years ago by designer Jeffrey Harrington, the firm has grown from one to five team members and has more than doubled first-year revenues.

Harrington, a part-time designer and support staff moved in to the new headquarters on March 8.

“Riverplace Tower is a permanent home for us. We are going to be here for at least three years during that time plan to expand into more space,” Harrington said. “If the next three years are anything like the last three, we’ll need to hire more designers and support staff. I’m definitely going to hire another graphic designer in the third quarter of this year.”

While planning for the move, the firm was busy completing a significant presentation for a leadership conference for Citibank. “We are helping to refine and present graphically the strategy for the national card services division.”

Other clients include the Scott-McRae Automotive Group, the Wells and Drew Companies, Ribault Club, Berg, O’Connor and Bowers, Simonic, and a very exciting regional healthcare council. “We just heard on March 4 that we won the RFP to create a whole new identity: name, logo and positioning for the North Central Florida Health Services Council,” Harrington said. “We brought together members of our core team, including an award-winning public relations consultant to ensure not only a great new name and logo for the client, but that the new image is perfectly aligned with the Council’s key audiences.”

Harrington DesignÂ’s mission is to bring the same big-agency commitment to communications excellence, the same passion for persuasion to small and mid-sized businesses, corporations and non-profit entities. It has been Harrington DesignÂ’s privilege to provide award-winning design solutions for our client base.

Jeffrey Harrington worked as Art Director for five years at Jacksonville's largest ad agency with a one-year period on the interactive team as Web Designer. His work has been recognized by the AIGA, How Magazine, and the Southeast Regional Addy Awards. He graduated with a BA in Graphic Design from Flagler College in 1996.
