Hospitality Agency of the Year
Rachel Harrison Communications (RHC) supports a client list of innovators in travel, hospitality, restaurants, bars, and spirits with expert-led integrated marketing communications strategies. In step with the founder’s career as a longtime PR leader, RHC doubled in size over the last year, and the young agency already counts eight offices – including their recently opened HQ in London – with key new hires to support their growth. The team is more focused on the message than the medium, prioritizing storytelling from content creation and web design to digital marketing and media efforts. This year, RHC launched six new hotel properties, five new restaurants and executed over ten award-winning brand partnerships. They’ve also seen success in connecting their like-minded clients and industry friendlies, developing memorable experiences like the joint pop-up between lauded bars Ponyboy and Mister Paradise in Barcelona during the World's 50 Best Bars. A couple of client accolades include Turtle Bay achieving a coveted space in Travel + Leisure's 2022 "It List," and Botanist named #2 of Canada’s 50 best bars.
