Overview

HUNTER is a leading consumer public relations agency headquartered in New York City, with a strong focus on food and beverage, beauty, health and wellness, and lifestyle categories. Founded in 1989 by Grace Leong, Jon Diamond, and Peter Himler, the agency has built a reputation for culturally relevant, insight-driven PR campaigns that connect brands with consumers through earned media, influencer engagement, experiential activations, and social content strategies. HUNTER works with a roster of major consumer brands including household names in CPG, spirits, personal care, and retail. HUNTER operates as a subsidiary within the Stagwell Inc. network, having joined through the 2021 merger of MDC Partners and Stagwell Marketing Group. This affiliation provides HUNTER with access to a broader suite of marketing services, data capabilities, and global resources while maintaining its distinct agency identity and consumer PR specialization. The agency is consistently ranked among the top independent consumer PR firms in the United States. While not a traditional AdTech company, HUNTER occupies a significant position in the broader marketing and communications ecosystem, particularly at the intersection of earned media, influencer marketing, and integrated brand communications. Its expertise in consumer storytelling and media relations makes it a key partner for brands seeking to build awareness and cultural relevance beyond paid advertising channels.
