The Sharp Innovations Team

Our Evolution

We've come to know over decades of doing business that by surrounding ourselves with myriad experts with varied skills, we as a team are able to offer a more comprehensive service. This realization has led us to evolve from a few specialists with one specific focus to a team of specialists with a broader suite of services. We've also partnered with other professional services firms at our complex who are our tenants, so that our clients can achieve all of their goals without ever leaving our building!

Our Story

Our philosophy of developing a meaningful and long-lasting relationship with every individual client has resulted in the continual growth and expansion of Sharp Innovations. We invite you to read about how Sharp Innovations has grown to become a leader among Pennsylvania website designers and internet marketing teams.

2017-2019 and Beyond

Sharp Innovations has experienced record setting revenues and profits in the most recent years of business as we entered two decades of successful business. During that time we have had the amazing privilege to faithfully steward and give away more money than we ever have for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. We have also continued to acquire firms during that season and have an exciting strategic plan of growth for years into the future as we seek to offer the greatest offering we ever have to our clients. We continue to diversify our offerings with a relentless pursuit of excellence so that we can truly be a blessing to our clients. We have also become GSA approved with the Federal Government and are continuing to grow our experience in that industry vertical. We are excited as we look at our 3rd decade of business!

2014-2016

In late 2014, the management team of Sharp Innovations pursued and successfully acquired a two building property at 3113 Main Street in Conestoga, PA. An extensive, multi-year renovation process was started, and Sharp Innovations became the first new tenant. The multi-unit property, which was renamed Kingdom Crossroads, is intended to become a gathering place for businesses and tenants who share a common vision for the future.

2013-2014

In 2013, a renewed focus was placed on our internet marketing efforts -specifically, organic search engine optimization and social media marketing-including a full update to our suite of services, and an expansion of our internet marketing team.

In addition, on March 3rd, 2014, Sharp Innovations acquired "This Way Up! Marketing," a website development and internet marketing firm based in Lancaster, PA. With this procurement, Sharp Innovations added key members of the "This Way Up!" staff, increasing its ability to identify new opportunities in the market to help grow clientele business, and also enabled us to add expanded video filming and editing services to our suite of marketing capabilities. We also added an additional project manager and an application developer to our team, to further aid in our ability to provide high value, full service web development, internet marketing and related services to our broad range of clientele.

2009-2012

2009 through 2012 marked a renewed focus on assisting clients to achieve success in a volatile economy. By centralizing project management and removing barriers to development progress, the firm worked to reinforce its status as a premier Pennsylvania website design firm by streamlining processes and providing easier points of contact. An expansion of its support department helped to ensure fast turnaround times. While the Sharp Innovations management team continued to create strategic partnerships with companies that would aid in client success by providing services not offered by Sharp directly.

2006-2008

From 2006 to 2008, a building management depth focus brought new skill sets and a fresh level of real-world experience to the company.

2004

While sole proprietors, community organizations and other noteworthy corporations turned to Sharp Innovations for its unmatched customer service, proven technology solutions, and energy-filled creativity.
