Hospitality PR

Secures press coverage and manages reputation for venues, chefs and brands. Openings, menu launches and awards are the big moments, but steady relationships with food writers and critics matter most. PR teams also handle crises such as hygiene ratings, staff disputes or viral complaints.

A real shift

Pitching stories to journalists, writing press releases and arranging tastings for writers. Running launch nights and press dinners, then tracking coverage. When something goes wrong, drafting statements quickly and advising owners on what not to say.
