Hanna Lee Communications (HLC), an award-winning multimedia PR/marketing agency specializing in hospitality, luxury travel, and beauty/wellness, today announces four coveted award wins at the PRNews Platinum Awards. The recognition honors the agency’s PR campaigns for two iconic clients, Tribe Hotel and Hero Bar, which have been positioning Nairobi, Kenya, as a leading food & beverage destination, and TimeSavvy, an ultra-premium K-Beauty brand for daily skincare essentials.  

The awards are considered the “Oscars” equivalent for the PR and marketing agencies in the U.S. and recognize excellence, originality, and creativity. This marks the first time PR campaigns for Kenya and a K-Beauty brand have earned this level of national acclaim and recognition from this leading awards organization.
