Our Story

PR That Moves Culture.

HK Public Relations was built on one belief: the right story, told to the right people, at the right moment, changes everything. We've spent 20+ years proving it.

Background

Where We Came From

Tia Harris with her family in Colorado

Life outside the office — rooted in Denver, Colorado.

HK Public Relations was founded by Tia Harris, an earned media expert who's spent nearly two decades at Edelman — the world's largest PR agency — before striking out on her own. After relocating to Denver, Tia channeled 20+ years of hard-won media relationships and strategic counsel into a firm built around one thing: earned coverage that actually moves the needle.

Our expertise spans food, travel, tech and lifestyle — the industries that shape how people live, eat, move and spend. We've delivered results for some of the world's most recognized names, from Google and Starbucks to Adobe, Hilton, Google, PayPal, Petco, Nissan, SC Johnson and Yellow Tail.

We don't just pitch stories — we craft narratives that resonate, campaigns that convert, and reputations that endure. Every brief gets our full strategic attention, backed by relationships with CNN, TODAY Show, E! News, People, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and more.

Our Principles

What Drives Us

01

Authenticity

We only take on brands we believe in. Genuine enthusiasm is the foundation of every pitch we make.

02

Relationships

Our media network is built on trust, not transactions. Editors and producers know that when we call, it's worth their time.

03

Results

Coverage is great. Coverage that drives awareness, sales, and brand equity is what we're actually after.

04

Creativity

The best PR campaigns don't follow the playbook — they rewrite it. We bring fresh thinking to every brief.
