Harris Studios has appointed Jack Kennedy as growth manager.
Kennedy, who joins the business from proptech platform Lavanda, where he was instrumental in growing the business by more than 50 operator accounts, previously worked with some of the industry’s leading operators such as Unite Students, Hello Student, Downing, Fusion, Native, Centrick and ila.
Jenna Harris and Jamie Harris, co-founders of Harris Studios and co-managing partners of Harris Associates, said: “The growth we have experienced over the past 12 months reflects the results our clients are achieving and the increasing appetite for a more strategic, creative and commercially focused approach to leasing and property marketing.
“Jack has an exceptional understanding of the living sector and a strong track record of building meaningful relationships with operators across the UK and Europe. His experience will be invaluable as we introduce Harris Studios to a wider audience and continue building a best-in-market team who drive our clients’ ambitions.”
Kennedy added: “Harris Studios has built a winning proposition by combining a genuine understanding of the capital markets with bold creative thinking and a clear focus on commercial outcomes. I have seen first-hand how important best-in-class marketing has become across the living sector – separating a building of 60% let vs 100% let through a distinctive campaign. Effective storytelling is key. I am looking forward to bringing our approach to more fantastic clients across the market.”
