March marks one of our favorite traditions—HUNTER Founding Day! 🎉

This year we’re celebrating a milestone 36th anniversary, honoring the incredible legacy of our namesake founder, Barbara Hunter, while looking ahead to the future. With the start of Women’s History Month, we welcomed Cathy Renna, LGBTQIA+ activist and recent recipient of the PRSA-NY Barbara Way Hunter Trailblazer Award, for an inspiring conversation led by our CEO, Grace Leong. It was a day filled with reflection and celebration. And to top it all off, we capped the festivities with two Louisiana staples, King’s Cake and TABASCO Brand for that extra Fat Tuesday kick.

The event took guests on an interactive journey, featuring live models and stylists showcasing Black beauty and cultural trends from the '70s to the present day. It was a powerful tribute to the cultural significance of Black women and their iconic hairstyles throughout history.

Our hearts are heavy for California and our family of colleagues, friends, and clients who are directly impacted by these devastating events.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our trailblazing founder, Barbara Way Hunter, who at 97, died peacefully at home surrounded by family. Barbara was more than an innovative leader in the field of public relations; she was a female pioneer and rare visionary who was as dedicated to her clients' successes as she was to the hundreds of professionals she led across three major PR agencies and dozens of industry trade associations.

Her peerless work ethic, ability to deploy creativity as a business solution, and tireless service to the communications field built HUNTER into the organization we are today and helped shape the practice of modern PR. The epitome of a CEO, Barbara was also a beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother, mentor, and friend. Her legacy will live on at HUNTER through the work we do, the values she instilled in us, and the impact she made in building trust and driving influence through the practice of strategic communications.

Thank you, Barbara. With every drop of TABASCO pepper sauce, we will continue to remember your advice: Be Kind, Be Humble, Be Accountable, and Tell the Truth. We are grateful to stand on your very broad shoulders and will continue to make you proud every day.
