ABOUT IMAGINE PR
Imagine PR is an award-winning, New York City–based luxury travel and hospitality PR agency with global reach. Named one of Observer's Top 5 Luxury PR Agencies (2024 & 2025) and a PR Net Top 100 U.S. PR Agency (2024 & 2025), we are not a traditional PR agency — we are a forward-thinking communications partner that moves at the speed of culture, integrating earned media, content creator partnerships, brand partnerships, and AI-powered strategy into everything we do. Our clients are some of the most prestigious hotel, resort, and destination brands in the world — and they choose us because we understand not just the media landscape, but the cultural moments, digital platforms, and emerging voices shaping how luxury travel is discovered, shared, and experienced today. From private safari camps in Africa and remote lodges in Patagonia to boutique beach resorts in Southeast Asia and design-forward city hotels in Italy, our portfolio spans the most sought-after properties and experiences on the planet. Joining Imagine PR means working at the intersection of creativity, technology, and luxury — alongside a team that genuinely loves what it does and is always ahead of what comes next.
