John C. Harris
Founder

John Harris knows the past, present and future of information design and marketing communications. One of the most decorated information architects spanning a diverse range of media from print advertising, collateral and publication design to one of the early adopters of interactive media technologies, having gained mastery over digital design predating the Macintosh.

Harris has a passion for striking the perfect blend of art, science and technology into his work. He has forged new territory in new media and its applications in marketing communications, developing a keen understanding of human factors and user interface design and applying that knowledge into web and cd-rom applications.

Harris joined Hensley Segal Rentschler in 1992 in a strategic collaborative effort to set the stage for interactive marketing communications. Harris played a key leadership role in establishing the agency as one of the first marketing communication firms world-wide to develop a web presence and an interactive cd-rom capabilities presentation. This early innovative development of new forms of marketing helped to win the agency "1995-96 Advertising Ages' Business Marketing Agency of The Year." He has developed both print and interactive communications for companies such as AK Steel, Apple Computer, Batesville Casket Company, Beneficial National Bank, Comware Incorporated, GE Aircraft Engines and Robbins Sport Surfaces.

Prior to Hensley Segal Rentschler, Harris spent six years as art director for Wolf Blumberg Krody where he crafted the look and image of such companies as Baldwin Piano and Organ Company, Burke Marketing, Frigidaire, Procter & Gamble, Rockwell International and St. Anthony Messenger Press.

His creative work has been recognized nationally by his peers. For two consecutive years he won recognition from the Society of Publication Designers, New York City. Both his print and interactive media work has been recognized by the American Advertising Federation in the form of an ADDY and the nation's Top 20 Hottest Web Sites and Best of Show from Business Marketing Association ProCOMM award. He has also won many creative awards from the Advertising Club of Cincinnati, Art Directors Club of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Editors Association, Cincinnati Direct Marketing Association and Catholic Press Association.

In 1983, Harris was recognized by the Ohio House of Representatives for outstanding personal achievement in surmounting the limitations of osteogenesis imperfecta, a congenital bone disorder which confines him to a wheelchair. He is a former member of the Board of Directors for the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation for which he chaired the awareness committee. Harris currently serves as a speaker and advisor for The Inclusion Network, an organization formed by the Manuel D. and Rhoda Mayerson Foundation to promote issues of inclusion for people with disabilities.
