We’re looking forward to introducing you to Candy Harman. Check out our conversation below.
Candy, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I spend my first 90 minutes at the gym with my personal trainer. I spend 30 minutes stretching and 60 minutes weight lifting.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
The Harman Media and Marketing group is a boutique agency based out of Colorado Springs. We have been awarded best agency by multiple groups. We have a great group of very talented people who believe in staying ahead of the curve on new innovations such as AI. We have some really great success stories for our clients. Our ability to be full service allows us to really get some great results.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My father had a great influence in my life. He nurtured my ability to learn and instilled me with a great work ethic. I think the most powerful words he ever said to me were “you can have anything you want in this life, as long as you are willing to work for it “. He also taught me the ability to look at the big picture which has helped me to grow my business and the business of our clients.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
In 2001 my daughter was hit by a car. That was a defining moment in my life and changed me forever. Suddenly the things that were so important to me the day before mattered not all anymore. That was a long hard battle and it really helped me to understand what is important in life. I had to close my business and focus on her. I am forever grateful that we made it through that time.and both came out stronger from it.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
I see so many small “table top” agencies that really take advantage of the smaller businesses that just do not know much about marketing. They sell them things that do not work or put them on proprietary platforms for their websites or farm out the work to bigger companies that they cannot control. It is one of the reasons we really try to take on some of the smaller accounts. We also spend a ton of our time talking and training businesses so that they do not make these mistakes in the future and can actually create marketing program that can work for them
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That i genuinely cared about everyone in my life. I think that is one of the biggest ways our agency is different. We genuinely care about our clients and their success. That is where our joy comes from.
