“It gives me great pleasure to share my experience of working with Katherine Han. Katherine has been representing Ananda in the Himalayas for PR and media relations in the United States since 2021. Through this time, she has displayed professionalism, commitment, and dedication to present Ananda as the world’s leading wellness retreat. Katherine has developed a complete understanding of the brand’s culture, values and objectives and upholds them with utmost sincerity. She has exemplary relations with media which has helped create several new opportunities for Ananda with leading publications, contributors, and readers. Besides ongoing inclusions in relevant industry coverage, where she has been most effective is in creating in-depth features with comprehensive experiential narratives. She is strategic in her approach and always ahead of the curve in terms of industry knowledge, which helps us address new trends and insights proactively.”

“Your leadership of our overseas public relations efforts has been nothing short of remarkable. The recent series of features in prestigious international media is a direct testament to your strategic insight and tireless commitment. You have masterfully conveyed the unique spirit of the Imperial Hotel — our deep respect for tradition elegantly woven with a new sense of innovation for Kyoto — capturing the attention of a discerning global audience and reaching the very guests we hope to welcome travelers with a deep appreciation for culture and discovery. Your profound understanding of our brand’s legacy, combined with your keen expertise in the luxury hospitality market, has been invaluable. The foundation you are building is not merely about publicity; it is about crafting a narrative that will resonate for years to come.

“I love working with Katherine because she’s always on top of every email and request you send through. She’s incredibly responsive, doesn’t demand coverage, and truly understands how the industry works. Katherine is one of the most responsive PR people I’ve ever worked with, and as a journalist, that’s the most important thing. Responsive, professional, and patient. Katherine is fantastic to work with because she’s one of those rare PR people that understands how the pitching, commissioning, and publishing process works from start to finish. It makes working with her a breeze.”

“Katherine Han and I have worked together in the past for years. She is a pleasure and a consummate professional. Her honesty and clear thinking helped establish good and enduring relationships with clients. She would assess their needs and offer creative and realistic strategies for ultimate exposure. Her years of experience and long-standing relationships with the press are invaluable resulting in placements in outlets like The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, AFAR, Men’s Journal and others. If I were looking for a PR professional, she would be my first pick.”

“Katherine Han singlehandedly served as the United States Public Relations Representative for the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority, between 2019 and 2021. With a long-standing career in travel and tourism public relations, solid connections with the media, comprehensive understanding of public relations and strength in media relations, she proved the ideal candidate for the position. Katherine came on board at a time when the island was attempting to position itself not just in the travel media but to present Saint Lucia to potential visitors looking for more than just a beach vacation. The goal was to target special interest publications and with her background, she not only had access to important media channels, but she was also able to pitch stories and command attention resulting in significant top-tier coverage for the island. One of the objectives of hiring Katherine was to move away from a large PR agency as we wanted the head of the agency to play an active role in servicing the account. Katherine handled day-to-day management of the account with keen attention to detail. All in all, her strategic approach and original tactics made for significant success for Saint Lucia, and I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
