On The Back Bar #52 Hanna Lee and Michael Anstendig discuss the foundations for successful PR in the beverage industry.

Hanna Lee Communications or HLC has long been a prominent name in drinks and hospitality marketing and PR, with Hanna herself recently being listed in 91st place in Drinks International's Bar World 100. For the last 17 years, the firm has been instrumental in telling the stories of spirit brands, as well as bars and restaurants from around the country, through mainstream and social media. In an effort to explore a new way to communicate, the firm has started HLC Book Incubator Media in partnership with publishers Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.  Their first book tells the story of award-winning mixologist, Masahiro Urushido and he's a claimed Japanese New York cocktail bar Katana Kitten. To find out more about the book, we speak to co-author and freelance journalist Michael Anstendig.
