Marking three decades of
service this year, Lou Hammond
& Associates (LH&A) has long
set the gold standard as the recognized
leader in travel and
hospitality public relations. The
company’s passion, as well as
an unwavering commitment to
quality, is driven by its legendary
founder and chairman,
Lou Hammond, who is regarded
as one of the most well-known
and enthusiastic advocates in
the industry.
LH&A is renowned as an
innovator in the field, as evidenced
by its award-winning
work. In fact, the Hospitality
Sales & Marketing Association
International (HSMAI) has honored
the agency with more of its
prestigious Adrian Awards over
the past 16 years than any other
entrant.
Last year the agency launched
its boutique digital firm,
Hammond Digital+, which is led
by an experienced specialist.
The agency’s latest enterprise
offers custom social media and
digital marketing services that
capture the media’s attention,
drive consumer engagement,
and build long-lasting following
for clients. Backed by the company’s
nearly 30 years of quality
PR service, HD+ combines traditional
and new strategies to
develop attention-grabbing campaigns
across all platforms.
Although LH&A celebrates
its past, most brilliantly through
the longevity of its client relationships,
the past year marked
exciting changes for the agency
that signals its continued vitality.
This March, LH&A left its
iconic townhouse on East 51st
Street for more spacious accommodations
on Third Avenue in
Midtown East. The agency also
embarked on a rebranding campaign
in late 2013, resulting in a
revamped website and a
redesigned logo that honors the
agency’s past as it strides boldly
into the future. LH&A’s offices
in Charleston, SC, and Miami,
FL, also continue to see marked
growth.
Over the past year, the agency
