Our Culture

Founded by a former journalist, Haymaker is built on a commitment to doing PR the right way. We enjoy meaningful, long-term relationships with the media and our clients, along with a highly-selective client selection process and a supportive, collaborative internal culture. Those principles allow us to routinely outperform firms more than 10 times our size. If you’re a PR professional who is looking for impact, ownership, and the space to do high-quality work without burning out, we’d love to speak with you.

I started my PR journey as an intern at Haymaker and it was the most incredible jumpstart to my career. After joining the team full time, in just two years, I’ve grown so much thanks to the guidance and support of a world-class PR team. Haymaker has been an amazing place to learn, grow, and thrive as a communications professional, while allowing me to work closely with some of the best brands in tech.
