Barbara Hastings and Barbra Pleadwell - Partners at Hastings & Pleadwell

Barbara Hastings and Barbra Pleadwell are partners at one of Hawaii’s top 10 PR firms, Hastings & Pleadwell. H&P has worked on environmental preservation, recycling, illegal dumping, tobacco control and homelessness. They maintain their commitment to education through mentorship and an internship program at the firm. To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Hastings & Pleadwell launched a campaign called 10 Good Deeds for 10 Great Years. The partners have been and are currently involved in a number of non-profit organizations and community initiatives. “We put together a series of workshops that benefited people who might otherwise not be able to pay for them and we did pro bono public relations for campaigns that might have otherwise gone without,” says Pleadwell. Helping the community is deeply embedded in the heart and soul of H&P as a company—with its principal owners actively engaging in charity. According to Hastings, community giving has been an integral part of themselves, having been exposed to a multitude of dire situations, and their business as a public relations firm. “It’s part of the bedrock of who we are as well us who our agency is,” Hastings says. “We had a lot of experience in this community with the need of people in the community – from health needs to food needs to environmental needs.” She adds, “because we were in that field and we learned a lot in our communication tactics on the grassroots level, we learned those as a result of trying to help some of these disparate communities so we used some of that for our for-profit clients but we also want to give back to the community that help educate us.” In this interview, the partners take us in to the beginnings of their PR firm, and the challenges that have had to overcome to attain their current position as one of Hawaii’s best public relations companies. They talk about mentorship, friendship, and developing and maintaining relationships with clients and the community.
