Heather & Emma hopped on the bus early this morning and spent the day at Fieldays.

They spent the morning with the Gallagher Animal Management team at their panel discussion, and worked with their new CE, introducing him to a few key rural media.

To all our clients at Fieldays this week, have a great one!

What a great two days our team has had in Auckland attending the PRINZ conference and industry awards.

HMC won a bronze award for a project led by Emma for our client Grayson Clements Lawyers. Congrats, Emma!

Plus the conference was full of thought provoking talks about how our industry is changing, the importance of being a trusted advisor and a focus on keeping ethical practice at the heart of our work.

Heather and our client John Macaskill-Smith took part in a panel discussion at the conference talking about how to build a trusting relationship between PR advisor and senior leaders.

Thanks PRINZ for putting on two great events!

This month 22 years ago, HMC started with a belief that great communication creates real business value.

Today, that belief still drives everything we do.

To our clients, partners, team and supporters, thank you for being part of the journey.

Here’s to 22 years of stories, strategy and impact.

You can buy ad space.
But you can’t buy the credibility that comes when a newsroom decides your story is worth telling. That is what makes earned media so valuable.

When a genuine news story positively reflects your brand, it says something more powerful than your business saying the same thing through its own channels.
