There’s something electric about Detroit. It’s a city that wears its heart (and history) on its sleeve – equal parts ambition and raw potential. Detroit’s story isn’t one of simple reinvention; it’s one of constant innovation. This is a place where challenges spark creativity, resilience fuels progress and the result is a certain pride in the community that just isn’t possible everywhere.
Now, with Hart’s acquisition of Rebuild, a Detroit-rooted independent marketing agency, as others in our industry are consolidating or moving out, Hart is moving in. This is a bold move by a confident group – a group that doesn’t just believe in new growth and exploration, but allows those very values to drive us forward. Detroit has a wealth of talent and an unparalleled creative spirit. It’s a mindset and footprint that makes all too much sense for us, and we’re beyond ready to get started.
A City That Inspires
Detroit tells its story through its architecture, its art and its people. From beautifully restored landmarks from centuries past to colorful and inviting murals reclaiming once-forgotten spaces, creativity isn’t some luxury here – it’s a necessity. That creative spirit is born out of something that cannot be artificially replicated. It demands authenticity, and there are few places on earth as authentic as Detroit.
Walking through neighborhoods like Milwaukee Junction, where our new partners at Rebuild are based, you can feel the pulse of ingenuity. This is a place where old factories hum with new energy, where each corner seems to spark an idea and where the creative community thrives on bold, fresh thinking. It’s this atmosphere – unapologetically raw and endlessly inventive – that makes Detroit the perfect setting for transformation.
At Hart, we pride ourselves on being champions for others. We’re inspired by the opportunity to help elevate the incredible talent and stories this city has to offer.
Fueling Growth With Talent
Without a doubt, Detroit’s greatest asset is its people. The city’s talent pool is as diverse as it is dynamic, filled with creators and innovators who see opportunity where others might see obstacles. From digital strategists to industrial designers, filmmakers to fine artists, Detroit’s creative workforce is defined by a relentless drive to make things better, smarter and more meaningful.
At Hart, we’ve always believed that great work comes from great collaboration. Through our acquisition of Rebuild, we’re not just entering Detroit – we’re becoming part of its creative fabric. Together, we’ll act as one to tap into the talent and spirit that define this city, using a human-first approach to craft meaningful connections that move brands and people alike.
A Shared Vision for Transformation
At Hart, transformation is at the core of what we do. We move audiences from apathy to advocacy crafting strategies that connect brands with people in meaningful ways. Detroit embodies that same transformational spirit. It’s a city that turns challenges into opportunities, a place where reinvention isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable and necessary for survival.
This new partnership with Rebuild is more than an expansion – it’s a chance to align our mission with an additional city that shares our values. By inviting exploration and fostering new growth, we’re poised to create work that doesn’t just connect, it transforms. Together, we’ll elevate the brands we serve while contributing to the narrative of Detroit as a city of limitless creativity and possibility.
Looking Forward
Detroit is a city of dreamers, doers and makers. It’s a place where creativity thrives and where resilience inspires. For Hart, this is more than just our next location – it’s a partner, a muse and a challenge to keep pushing boundaries.
We’re honored to join this incredible community, to draw from its spirit and to contribute to its legacy in any way we can. Here’s to Detroit, a city that never stops creating. Let’s build something extraordinary together and make Every Day Greater.
