OUR STORY

There’s something special about discovering a great new restaurant, hotel, or brand—but even more rewarding is helping the right people discover it, too.

For nearly 15 years, I’ve worked in hospitality and lifestyle public relations alongside founders, chefs, operators and teams building meaningful brands. Those experiences shaped how I see PR and what actually works. Not just attention for attention’s sake, but visibility that builds credibility, connection and long-term growth.

Midnight Run Consulting was built on a simple belief: public relations should feel thoughtful, strategic and human. Traditional approaches that focus only on pitches and placements often miss the bigger picture. Today’s hospitality brands grow when their story is clear, their presence is consistent and their relationships—media, community and customer—are strong.

Rather than relying on a fixed, junior-heavy agency model, we build a custom team around each client. Depending on your goals, we bring in senior-level specialists—publicists, strategists, writers and creatives—who have deep experience in your industry. That means you’re getting seasoned thinking and execution from day one without paying for layers you don’t need.

This flexible approach allows us to stay focused, responsive and deeply aligned with the brands we work with and so the work feels intentional, personal and effective.

If you’re building something special and want the right people to know about it, we’d love to connect.
