"As a small business, our publicity and social media efforts were sporadic at best, happening only when we could find spare time—which was rare. Since partnering with HKPR, our customer messaging has become both consistent and effective. Katie and her team have perfectly captured our voice while delivering impressive results across media and social channels. HKPR has truly become an invaluable asset in growing our small business.”
