James B. Hardy, IV

CEO and Founder

You can’t have a crack squad of problem solvers without a head problem solver! Just imagine the problems that would create?

Jim’s a strategy kind of guy - he believes a strong strategy is key to meeting a client’s needs. And that’s how he leads Maxim in providing clients with strong strategies that directly address their needs.  

Trained as an art director, Jim is deeply involved in all aspects of servicing a client’s account. To say Jim wears plenty of hats would be an understatement, and he does it well.

An 18-year veteran of advertising, he pulls from a wealth of experience and knowledge to provide clients with the solutions they need.
