David Harbin

David Harbin is a visionary entrepreneur and the founder of Harbinger Marketing, a results-driven marketing agency dedicated to helping businesses grow with clarity, creativity, and measurable impact. A graduate of Point University with a Bachelor of Science degree, David built his career on a deep belief that marketing should do more than just look good—it should deliver tangible results that move businesses forward and make a measurable difference in the lives of business owners and their communities.

His journey into marketing began early. While still in high school, David launched Harbinger as a small design venture focused on websites and graphics. Influenced by his father and grandfather—both business owners—he quickly realized that true marketing success requires more than attractive designs. It demands strategy, alignment with business goals, and a trusted partner who can carry the weight of execution. This insight shaped the foundation of Harbinger’s model: acting not as a vendor, but as a partner who integrates deeply with clients to cast vision, solve problems, and generate quantifiable growth.

Over the years, David has become known for his ability to see the big picture while empowering others to thrive in their roles. His day-to-day is never the same—sometimes he’s casting vision for the future of the company, other times he’s listening closely to the passions and challenges of partners, and often he’s equipping his talented team to innovate and execute at the highest level. His greatest fulfillment comes from watching both his partners and his team grow—celebrating wins, overcoming challenges, and building lasting success together.

Under David’s leadership, Harbinger Marketing has grown into a trusted ally for businesses across industries such as pool construction, home and building construction, plumbing and HVAC, rolloff services, and paving. Harbinger specializes in serving growth-oriented business owners who want a marketing partner they can trust. By combining creativity with technical expertise—ranging from SEO and digital advertising to video storytelling, branding, and website development—Harbinger equips its partners with strategies that don’t just check a box but create real, measurable results.

What sets David apart is his belief that marketing is about people first. He sees every partnership as a way to help business owners reach their goals in alignment with Harbinger’s core values: Live Intentionally, Confidence with Conviction, Growth is Collective, Clarity is Kindness, and Cultivate the Culture. These values shape the way he leads and the way Harbinger serves, creating a culture that is authentic, growth-oriented, and deeply relational. Partners don’t just see stronger marketing performance—they gain the confidence of having a team committed to their long-term success.

Beyond his professional achievements, David finds his greatest joy at home. He and his wife, Kristen, are proud parents to Esther, Charlie, and Evelyn, and time with his family is what he treasures most. Whether it’s everyday moments or shared adventures, those times keep him grounded and inspired.
At his core, David Harbin is more than a CEO—he’s a champion for small businesses, a builder of teams, and a leader driven by the belief that thriving businesses foster thriving individuals. His story is proof that vision, when paired with dedication and integrity, has the power to create growth that lasts.
