About James Harmon
Marketing entails more than blindly chasing after every pursuit — it is a collaborative and strategic process that deepens the relationship between you and your client. As a marketing and communications leader in the Architecture/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) industry, I specialize in working across multidisciplinary teams to workshop, draft, and fine-tune messaging for pursuits, awards, grants, and other communications.Recognized as a subject matter expert with demonstrated leadership in the broader marketing community, I excel at translating complex topics into palatable, compelling stories. Simply put, I translate “engineer-speak” and “architect-speak” into compelling messages that resonate with your audience.I genuinely believe that I am at my best when we are all at our best. As a member of SMPS Seattle, I have served on the board of directors for over four years — this year as President. With an eye towards advocacy, I prioritize mentorship and creating best practices to raise marketing and communications standards within the A/E/C industry.Beyond the office, you might find me running a half-marathon, reading and writing, taking my Bengal cat Baldwin for a walk, or designing costumes for Comic-Con.CORE STRENGTHS Collaborative leadership Content development Brand consistency Technical writing Strategic communication Public outreach & stakeholder engagementTECHNICAL SKILLS Certifications: Editing, Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) Software: Microsoft Office Suite (Windows, Excel, PowerPoint), Adobe Creative Suite, MS Teams, SharePoint, CRM (Deltek, Microsoft Dynamics AX)
