ABOUT

H

You've known us as Hunter Public Relations, but the needs of our clients have evolved and so have we.

Born from a foundation in traditional consumer PR, we offer a wide range of integrated marketing communications services across owned, earned, and paid channels. And while helping brands “relate” to their “public” will always be at the heart of what we do, the scalable solutions that we offer are limited only by the ever-changing media and shopping behaviors of consumers, our clients’ challenges, and the passions of our talented staff.

Philosophy

Our motto at HUNTER:

We Earn It, and this comes to life in every area of our business and how we approach yours.

EARNING ATTENTION:

In a world where the average person touches their phone more than 200 times per day (scary, isn't it?), we believe that their attention can never be "bought." Even through our work in paid and owned channels, it is always earned. Hunter's foundation in public relations trained us to tell brand stories authentically and editorially and create engaging and relevant content delivered through trusted mouthpieces.

EARNING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS:

We know that decades-long client relationships have to be earned. Each. And. Every. Day. Our first client when we were founded over 30 years ago is still with us (yup!). Five have been with us for 10 years or more. Many others took us with them when they moved to new companies, new industries, and new territories seeking new solutions from us for their marketing challenges outside of “traditional PR.” We've been told we have an intense focus on client-service. That's how we grow together.

EARNING STAFF DEDICATION:

We are HUNTERS: writers and researchers, makers and creators, connectors and collaborators, dreamers and problem solvers. Our talented staff are all we've “got,” and they have a lot of choices today; they could even come to work for you! We'd rather they stay with us a long time, and our average staff tenure is one of the highest in the industry because we know that dedication to being a HUNTER, and all that means, is something we can never take for granted. So, we work really hard at that too.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At HUNTER, we believe in creating a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive. Empowering our staff and celebrating their differences helps to drive our work that matters, whether that is work for our clients or for our agency.

We embrace our employees’ differences in age, race, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other characteristics that make us unique.

Real change isn’t easy, and we understand that integrating DEI practices into our company culture will take time and an unwavering commitment to progress. You can read our full Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement here.
