Is your message getting lost in translation?
At Harte Hanks we speak “customer.” This is where research, ethnographies, data, statistics, graphs and numbers get interpreted into words, phrases and visuals. Add a touch of imagination and ingenuity and the result is motivating, compelling and often unexpected. Our data and analytics give us the tools to stimulate your customers’ brains.

In our world, action is everything.

Good customer support is life support for your brand

And build sophisticated solutions into websites and portals to address and resolve almost any customer concern—with a fully automated interaction. Saving your customers time and aggravation. Because the faster the resolution, the deeper the brand loyalty.
The customer problem/solution construct is one of the most efficient ways to capture individual customer data and understand what a customer is feeling about your product or brand in real time.
Think of us as your customer’s personal help desk.
For decades, we have invested in building a comprehensive portfolio of capabilities designed to enhance the customer experience at every touch point. But an agency’s capabilities are only as good as the people who lead and operate them.
We are an eclectic group of 2,000. We share an innate curiosity and obsession for the brands we touch. We are a fusion of creativity from unexpected places — agencies big and small, consulting practices, academia, entrepreneurial startups.
It is the people who power an agency. And our people understand your customer. Because we never forget we are customers, too.
