Marketing and Publicity
Led by Kelly Hargraves, klh[PR] is dedicated to connecting the work of select clients to a broad network of arts and culture audiences. By sustaining a diverse network of long-term relationships with publishers, editors, writers and influencers across disciplines, we bring recognition and attention to distinctive filmmakers, broadcast television, live art experiences, events and exhibitions.
This is not a sales job. Hargraves has been at the helm of publicity and marketing efforts for definitive independent artists, producers and distributors, film festivals and art centers for more than 25 years.
Through active dialogue with top-level editors, Hargraves and team offer clients access to major media outlets, while connecting to and advancing new voices in the media — independent writers, social media influencers and engaged community leadership who can make your work known to target audiences and outlets.
