OUR JOURNEY
We were born as Social Intelligence in 2010, as a social media content marketing specialist agency with a keen eye on bringing emotional intelligence right to the heart of social media strategy for local businesses.
We went on to work with more than 150 brands, across 30+ industries, spanning the public, private and charity sectors, across the UK.
By 2018, our team and client family had grown and our experience had sharpened and specialised. We rebranded as Harbour 32. A nautical hat tip to the two directors: Shelley (her heart lies in warm beaches in South Africa) and Christian (viking link to Sweden) and combining the 32 points on a compass to marry the purpose of what we are here to do: create a true north for our clients.
Today we are strategic personal brand specialists and have built a safe, (brand) haven for professionals who are proficient experts in their subject.
