Fort Lauderdale, FL – January 11, 2018 – Hemsworth Communications today announced it has been named PR agency-of-record by Massanutten Resort. Following a successful project-based assignment in the summer of 2017, Hemsworth has been retained to manage all aspects of the resort’s PR and media relations.

Massanutten Resort (pictured right) is an all-season resort located in the heart of Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Set on an expansive 6,000 acres of land, the resort delivers a wide array of outdoor and family-friendly amenities which include golfing, kayaking, zip-lining, hiking, and mountain biking.

“Working with Hemsworth last year on a unique three-track press familiarization trip demonstrated how strong the agency is in creative thinking, tailoring a plan to meet a resort’s very specific needs, and maintaining close, strong media relationships across numerous sectors,” said Sarah Elson, director of business relations at Massanutten Resort. “As we continue to evolve Massanutten as a top all-season destination, reinventing ourselves in new ways and offering new amenities and experiences, we are excited to have found a partner who will be a strong ally in increasing awareness in the minds of our target traveler.”

Hemsworth will leverage its experience in the dining, entertainment and hospitality industries, crafting dynamic media and public relations strategies designed to position Massanutten Resort as the destination resort of choice for leisure and sports travelers, as well as families and the group market.

“I grew up as a child vacationing at Massanutten Resort, it’s where I learned to ski for the very first time, and it is minutes from my alma mater Mary Baldwin University, so I am personally so thrilled to welcome this incredible resort to the Hemsworth family,” said Samantha Jacobs, founder and president of Hemsworth Communications. “Massanutten has evolved over the years and today really is the premier all-season resort destination for families, adventure travelers, the corporate market, social groups and more.  There is something for everyone at Massanutten and we are excited to help the resort craft a powerful PR strategy for 2018 and beyond, showing the world all there is to experience there.”
