PROFILES OF TOP INDEPENDENT PR FIRMS
Hunter PR has been an independently owned firm for 21 years, which
allows us the flexibility to take on pro bono clients that appeal to our
staff’s interest and experience. Hunter PR has worked with the New
York City Clothing Bank for three years. This March staffers passed
around flowers on the first day of spring to help raise awareness and
funding for the organization. Hunter PR encouraged people to
become a Facebook fan of Hunter PR and for every new fan through
the end of March we donated money to the organization.
