We demonstrate strong exciton-photon coupling and photon-mediated hybridization between the Frenkel and Wannier-Mott excitons of an organic-inorganic hybrid optical microcavity. Hybridization occurs between the Frenkel excitons of the small molecular weight organic tetraphenylporphyrin and the Wannier-Mott excitons of InGaP quantum wells. This mixed state consists of 10% Frenkel and Wannier-Mott exciton and 80% cavity photon character, and persists up to temperatures of 100 K.
