WE ARE
A strategic and creative marketing communications partner earning attention and elevating reputation for leading companies and brands around the world across consumer, corporate and B2B audiences.
ABOUT
You’ve known us as Hunter Public Relations, but the communications landscape and needs of our clients have evolved – and so have we.
Born from a foundation in consumer PR, HUNTER is an integrated marketing agency working across consumer, corporate and B2B communications. We bring together earned, owned and paid media expertise with capabilities in brand and corporate strategy, media relations, social & digital media, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), influencer & creator marketing, content & creative for all platforms, experiential marketing, executive visibility & thought leadership, and reputation management.
Helping brands connect with their audiences is always at the heart of what we do. Today, that audience extends far beyond consumers: It includes employees, business leaders, partners, investors, media and other stakeholders who influence a brand’s reputation and business outcomes.
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 200+ times a day, we believe that attention and reputation can never be “bought.” Even through our work in paid and owned channels, attention and reputation are always earned. HUNTER’s foundation in public relations trained us to tell brand and company stories authentically and editorially, and create engaging and relevant content delivered through trusted mouthpieces.
EARNING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS:
We know that decades-long client relationships must be earned. Each. And. Every. Day. Our first client when we were founded over 37 years ago is still with us (yup!). Two have been with us for 20+ years, and five for 10+ years. When our clients make their next big move, they often take us with them. Across companies, industries and markets, they continue to turn to HUNTER for fresh thinking and solutions that extend well beyond traditional PR. We like to think it’s our relentless commitment to client service that keeps them coming back.
EARNING STAFF DEDICATION:
We are HUNTERS: writers and researchers, makers and creators, connectors and collaborators, dreamers and problem solvers. Our people are our greatest strength, and in an industry where talent has no shortage of opportunities, we never take their commitment for granted. We work hard to make HUNTER a place where people feel valued, inspired and empowered to grow. The result? One of the highest average employee tenures in the industry and a culture that keeps talented people choosing HUNTER, year after year.
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.
