The strategic media solutions firm now occupies more than 23,000 square feet at the property and has committed to this location through 2023.

Harmelin wanted to expand in a space where it can continue to leverage internal collaboration and use of technology, which they see as key to their continued growth."
Harmelin Media is one of the largest full-service, independent media service companies in the country, offering media planning, buying and other activities on behalf of clients, and utilizing insights and creative communication strategies to design solutions for them.
