“Milestone PR team is always professional and friendly. The company, especially Kate, makes sure the media has everything it needs and wants be it events, high-end restaurants or luxury hotels. It is what luxury PR is all about; quick to answer any queries and solve any issues. It is always "service with a smile”. 

- Nianne Lynn-Hendricks, Bangkok Post -Chief Sub-Editor, Guru By Bangkok Post, Life, Bangkok Post/Columnist: The Gastro Gospel

“Khun Kate has a complete understanding of the needs of her clients and her media contacts. Milestone isn't the kind of agency that sends out cut-and-paste mailings and hopes for the best. Her approach is boutique and bespoke in the best possible way. She's thorough and proactive in her work yet her professionalism doesn't mean that working with her is anything less than an absolute pleasure. If she reaches out to you, there's a reason, and you'd do well to sit up and listen to what she has to say.”

- Vincent Vichit-Vadakan. Travel + Leisure Asia

“I had the opportunity to work with Kate/Milestone PR for many years through Thai SELECT USA PR initiatives. Kate is highly professional, articulate, and creative in her approach to PR. Her works through Thai SELECT’s Thai Food For Heroes and Kitchen Quarantine were among a few examples of how Kate always thinks outside-the-box and created powerful campaigns to not only elevate Thai food brands but also helped restaurant business during COVID-19 crisis. Her profound understanding of Thai cuisine and Thai culture also helped her find compelling story angles for Jitlada and Thai cuisine in America.”

— Jazz Singsanong (Jitlada, Los Angeles)

"Kate checks every box a journalist looks for in a working relationship with a publicist: She's quick and understands deadlines. Her pitches are not cookie cutter. She always has the answers (or will quickly get them) because she knows her clients inside and out. But what sets working with Kate apart most of all is the time and effort she puts into cultivating meaningful relationships. It pays off because she understands how to make the media's job easier — whether it's a seemingly small detail like confirming a menu detail or probing questions for a bigger feature story on a chef. She strikes the perfect balance between professional and personal every time."

— Bao Ong, Time Out New York, Food and Drink Editor

“My long-standing relationship with Kate, the founder of Milestone PR, goes back to 2015 when she was working for the Tourism Authority of Thailand's (TAT) New York City office. When Kate established her own PR and marketing company, I jumped at the chance to work with her. She brought my vision of "Local Thai Global Favorites" alive through my restaurant group and helped fast track our success. Supanniga Group now has three brands in Thailand and about 14 locations worldwide. We've worked together closely to promote authentic regional Thai cooking inspired by family cooking in Thailand, the USA and across the globe. Kate's guidance and her creative approach to PR have helped in promoting Supanniga Eating Room, Supanniga Cruise and Somtum Der to be the visionary restaurants they have become through the years. Thank you, Kate! We are committed to continuing our journey with Milestone PR!”

— Thanaruek (Eh) Laoraowirodge, Founder of Isan Jantra Group (Owner and Former Co-CEO of Supanniga Group

"Kate is the perfect ambassador for Thailand: She's not only incredibly knowledgeable about her home country and all it offers, but she's passionate about it, too. Thanks to her high standard of professionalism and genuine friendliness, she's been a lovely person to work with and get to know!"

— Chadner Navarro (Departures, Conde Nast Traveler, Delta Sky and etc.)

"You can always depend on Kate to be at the top when it comes to her professionalism and passion as a public relations pro. But the business relationship is just one part of why I trust Kate and Milestone PR's work. She knows and values the personal relationship just as much as the working one. Kate is someone you can trust like a friend or family member. When she's advising you, it's not just from a consultant's perspective but from a person who cares about your success."

— Tatchai Nakapan, CEO Supanniga Group

“Kate studied and worked in both Thailand and the U.S., experiences that gave her strong cross-cultural skills. She knows Thailand and what Americans are attracted to in the country. She also knows a thing or two about connecting nations, drawing from her background in international relations and from working at the United Nations”

— travAlliance media

"Given her strong communication skills and international relations background, we procured Kate to handle public relations and be the media point of contact when I was the Director of TAT-New York. She has proven to be a highly effective PR professional whom I trust to handle the hardest the most challenging PR and marketing campaign for our office. I trust in her ability, creativity, strategic thinking and her commitment for excellence."

— Srisuda Wanapinyosak, Deputy Governor for International Marketing (Europe & The Americas), Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)

"Some people exude joy and passion. That's Kate, who I first met when she served as PR for Thailand Tourism. Always creative, well informed about her native nation, thoroughly understanding the US media market, she is simply one of the best in the business. Smart, hardworking, and charismatic, Kate is the sort of person you'd pick first for any team. She's a great advocate for her client, savvy and witty, has an elegant presence, and understands how we journalists work. Traveling with her to experience her properties (or in the case of Thailand, national monuments, museums, restaurants, etc) was to enjoy the companionship of a master. Fair, respectful, with a great sense of humor and a contagious laugh, Kate is the person I want to work with everyday."

— Becca Hensley @beccahensley (Robb Report, USA Today, AFAR, Fodors and etc.)

"There are few people I would recommend as highly as I would Kate Hasenfus. This woman is remarkable. She is organized, informed, thorough, and just plain likeable. She made my job as a journalist incredibly easy by providing me with tons of amazing story ideas and great information before, during, and after my trip to Thailand. It’s been an absolute joy to work and travel with her, and I would recommend her without hesitation."

— Kristy Alpert ( Travel Weekly, Fodor's Travel, Global Traveler and etc.)

"The media knows her as the face of Thailand tourism and seek her advice and opinions for story angles. All of these only happen as a result of her passion for Thailand as a Thai national, her profound knowledge of the country, her pleasant personality, and professionalism."

— Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya, Deputy Governor, Communication Department, Tourism Authority of Thailand

"Having produced over eight-hours of prime-time television in Thailand for U.S. networks, ABC and NBC, I can honestly say that it would not have been such a success without Kate's endless resources, knowledge of the country and culture, and her dedication to excellence – for both Thailand and the productions.”

— Michael Mazzara, Supervising Producer

"Kate's passion for PR and for Thailand are important keys to her success. The fact that she actually cares about what she does, Kate always go above beyond to make sure that every PR project and campaign or investment TAT made was for the maximum results and benefits of Thailand tourism. Her ability to see things in big picture/policy level/strategic level and her analytical skills are not easy things to come by in most individuals and these are her strong suits that will benefit her career wherever she choose to be."
