What does H stand for?

The H Agency is an award-winning strategic marketing and creative agency founded in 1990 by president and creative director Winnie Hart. The company has grown from a local New Orleans design firm into a regional strategic marketing and creative agency that develops marketing programs and brand strategies for healthcare and wellness companies. In our 20 years of service to clients, we have been recognized with more than 120 top industry awards for excellence in marketing, communications and design.

We’re asked all the time what the “H” in The H Agency stands for. Most assume that the H stands for “Hart,” the last name of our founder, Winnie. Still, H stands for more than just a last name. It stands for the systematic approach, uncompromising principles and unparalleled energy we bring to our work. It also stands for the values that make us unique — hybrid thinking, healthcare and wellness, heart and helpful.

For two decades, The H Agency has been recognized nationally and internationally for the quality and creativity of our strategic design solutions.
