Company Overview
At Hello Human we believe small businesses are at the heart of positive change. A change where we create based on quality, not quantity, and where we work based on intrinsic values, not aesthetic values.
Through our accessible, transparent approach, we help small creative businesses thrive, so they can go forth and enact more positive change in the world.
We operate as an international PR collective and we speak on behalf of creative people, telling stories about them that resonate, and working with journalists we trust to reach the communities that matter.
