Vice President, Hospitality

GO PR has established itself as one of the industry’s leading boutique hospitality PR agencies, earning recognition from Business Insider, Crain’s and, for the third consecutive year, Observer’s list of top luxury travel firms. The agency is known for its media relations expertise and bold, unexpected creative thinking—from transforming a room at Walker Hotel Tribeca into an immersive “Pink Fuzz” experience in partnership with Pantone, to brokering a cowboy boot-lending program with Tecovas for Michelin-starred chef Charlie Palmer’s Cattlemen’s Club, to creating a fully branded Anthropologie Home suite at Hotel Anna & Bel.

We partner with hotels, resorts, destinations, restaurants and hospitality brands to build relevance, shape reputation and earn meaningful visibility through strategic media relations, creative programming, thoughtful partnerships and trusted counsel.
