John Simanowitz

John started Integrity in 2001 because he was tired of how agencies treated the people paying them. The idea was simple and it has not changed: hire people good enough to be trusted with real decisions, then give them the context to make them. No layers, no theater, no work that exists to justify a retainer.

He is still the person clients escalate to. John has led award-winning work in healthcare, higher education, consumer packaged goods, technology, entertainment, and professional services, much of it on secure and regulated projects where the cost of getting it wrong is not measured in impressions. He has also spent two decades building and growing technology teams and products for startups, venture and equity groups, corporations, and institutions.

Most of his time goes to the hardest question in this business, which is whether a proposed solution will actually work for the people who have to use it. John and Ed were both named to the St. Louis Business 500 in technology and innovation.
