Hart Associates Inc.

Fifty-three years ago, Hart was founded by entrepreneur Thomas Hart, a hardworking visionary who created an art studio in his basement and grew his knowledge of local politics into a successful political advertising firm. Today, Tom Hart’s son, Mike, and a team of 65 creatives, strategists and support staff have grown that vision into a thriving independent integrated marketing communications firm with capitalized billings of $83 million and a diverse client base of local, regional and globally recognized brands. The agency capabilities include brand strategy, creative development, content marketing, video services, PR and digital services. With offices in Toledo and Columbus, the team has deep expertise in the B2B, health care, higher education, and building and home products verticals.
