FROM COAST TO COAST
(PLUS EVERY POINT IN BETWEEN & BEYOND)
Owned by sisters Karen Moraghan and Kristen Hunter, HPR is headquartered in Carmel, California, with a satellite office in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Although the “Hunter Sisters” are geographically 3,000 miles apart, their sibling bond and hands-on approach distinguishes this powerhouse pair known for results-earning solutions.
Karen Moraghan, President
A seasoned expert in hospitality marketing and strategy development, Karen is a proven producer of national events and is considered one of golf’s top media relations specialists. Widely known and respected by industry leaders, media and executives, Karen’s strategies have enhanced profits and visibility for her clients and propelled HPR to the forefront of the worlds of hospitality and golf. Her personal passion is wellness and empowering clients to take the lead in this rapidly-growing segment.
When Karen’s not landing prime coverage or executing unforgettable events for HPR’s clients, you can find her on her own wellness journey, which began with the bang of a starting gun when she was the only female competing on her high school cross-country team and has evolved into a lifelong commitment to living healthfully—including six-days-a-week workouts.
Kristen Hunter, Vice President
Kristen spearheads publicity programs and special events for HPR’s clients. She is the engine powering the well-oiled media center machines for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, the Pure Insurance Championship, and the Safeway Open. Kristen explains, “Special events are my favorite part of our business—they have a set beginning and end, and you immediately experience the results of your efforts.”
Also athletic from a young age, Kristen still enjoys high-impact exercise that allows her to connect with nature—and like-minded people. Because wellness, to her, is as much about socializing as it is about physical fitness. Not to mention the generational motivation of honoring her dad’s health-conscious legacy and setting a positive example for her kids.
The Team
Supporting Karen and Kristen is a team of experienced writers, editors, social media experts and specialists in operations and database management. The average tenure among staffers is 10+ years because the HPR culture fosters an inspirational, can-do spirit.
