Renowned hunting advocate and industry leader Richard Lendrum has officially partnered with Hunter Outdoor Communications (HOC) to provide marketing, public relations, and communications representation for four of his premier African brands: Afton Safari Lodge, African Dawn Outfitters, African Hunting Gazette, and Taxidermy Trophy Solutions (TTS).
The partnership brings together one of Africa's most trusted voices in hunting and conservation and one of the outdoor industry's leading communications and marketing agencies. Through this collaboration, HOC will work to expand awareness of each brand and strengthen each brand's presence in the international hunting, safari, and outdoor markets.
"Africa offers some of the most unforgettable hunting and safari experiences in the world, and our mission has always been to promote legal hunting, conservation, and trusted industry partnerships," said Lendrum. Karen Leatherwood and her team at HOC understand both the hunting industry and the importance of conservation, professionalism, and authentic storytelling. This partnership represents an exciting new chapter for all four of our brands."
