Olá from the Azores!
It’s like Portugal meets Hawaii. These volcanic islands are simply stunning and surprisingly close to the East Coast!
One of my biggest 2024 goals was breaking into Vogue, and I’m thrilled my first piece with them was published last week!
In case you missed it, here it is, and a major thanks to the PR people and sources who made it possible, https://www.vogue.com/article/cold-plunges-wellness-travel-trend
Some Exciting Career News!
I’m expanding my consulting side hustle in a major way.
I’ll continue to write the same amount…but I will dedicate equal time to growing my consulting business.
Typically reserved for my go-to PR professionals, I’m now offering my consulting services to travel brands, including hotels, tour companies and travel agents.
Offers include:
How to best work with top-tier journalists and land clients into dream publications [Single or multi-consult sessions available]
Simple ways brands can level up the customer experience and programming without spending tons of money [via expert audits and briefs]
Top-level copywriting and content writing for websites, blogs and social media
So if you, your colleagues, clients or friends are in need of any of the above, email me at klockhart14 (at) gmail.com.
