Hamish Kilburn

Hamish Kilburn

Owner / Director

What can I say? PR is in my blood! Like my mother, who set up EKC in 2000 when I was just seven years old, I’m driven by authentic storytelling and the magic of a compelling narrative.

My career in publishing has included working in editorial roles in the healthcare and dental sectors, being the Editor of Hotel Designs for six years and, separately, the host of Marriott Bonvoy’s leading global podcast, Travel By Design.

In the PR world, I’ve had the privilege of boosting visibility for the tourism boards of Barbados and Nevis, crafting memorable events and working with leading editors and journalists alike on original stories.

While travel and design ignite my passions, the true highlight of my career has been spotlighting visionaries across various fields, whether on stage, through podcasts or in print media.

As the Company Director of Kilburn Communications, I lead our team with the same dedication and enthusiasm that Erica always has, ensuring our clients shine in the ever-evolving media and marketing landscape.
