Meet Lois Whitman
As Co-Founder and President of HWH PR, Lois Whitman-Hess has been actively involved in public relations for a vast array of business sectors including technology, Internet-based companies, entertainment, law, publishing, fashion, beauty and art.
HWH PR has become well known in these specific industries because of its client roster which include brand names such as Samsung, Sony, BSR (USA), DuPont, Panasonic, Philips, Twentieth-Century Fox, HBO, Casio, Westinghouse, Astell&Kern, Kyocera, BMG, Random House, Revlon, Waterpik, Helen of Troy, Bell South, Higher Ground, University of Tennessee College of Business, and HGTV.
In addition to Fortune 500 companies, Lois has worked with sports and entertainment luminaries such as Jon Bon Jovi, Joe Torre, Magic Johnson, Arnold Palmer, Boomer Esiason, Willie Mays, Joe Di Maggio, Notorious B.I.G, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney and Elton John.
For the last eight years, Lois has authored a daily blog called “Digidame.” It mostly covers her personal journeys as well as tech innovations, art, travel, and entertainment. In addition, Lois co-hosts a weekly podcast called “Lying on the Beach” with TV personality Steve Greenberg who is a regular on the Today Show. They interview luminaries who discuss their expertise and views on current events.
One of the most important accomplishments in Lois’s career was the establishment of a 40-year internship program at her PR agency. Hundreds of high school and college students have spent a semester at HWH PR learning the communications business by actually being responsible for projects from day one on the job. There is no better way to learn than to be active on assignments. The system worked. Many of the interns at HWH PR are now in leading positions in their respective fields. It’s a great honor to witness their accomplishments.
