What our clients say

“”

The team at Hot Paper Lantern served as an extension of our team here at Advantage Solutions, providing the talent, connections and strategies that helped our company elevate our profile in the media and finally claim rightful credit for our leadership position in the retail industry. We had a fantastic working relationship, and HPL was collaborative, nimble and took time to clearly understand our business objectives. In the 18 months we worked together, we went from fewer than 40 annual media placements to appearances in more than 400 publications, unlocking the exposure commensurate with our footprint, serving communities across 90% of American zip codes. I’m proud of what we achieved together and would not hesitate to recommend the talented team to any company seeking to elevate its profile.

Hot Paper Lantern enabled Barnes Aerospace to transform its 165+ year-old brand into an aerospace component powerhouse.  

During the time HPL and I worked together, it was my responsibility to tailor digital content to boost full-funnel engagement from existing and prospective customers, employees, and shareholders.  

The legacy brand warranted a refresh, and with HPL's strategic approach to brand strategy, identity creation, content and video creation, web design and implementation, and other areas, the billion-dollar brand now stands out in a league of aerospace competitors.

Aside from the branding and creative support, HPL's innovative approach to technical elements stood out. For instance, we launched a website on time and budget while undergoing HPL-recommended enhancements. As a partner, HPL reached the maximum rating on an evaluation scorecard by considering crucial elements of design, infrastructure, and ease of use for post-implementation maintenance.

It was refreshing to have such open communication about timelines and deliverables, with an MVP launching within weeks of the signed RFP. The experience was so gratifying that I consider the relaunch of BarnesAero.com the most relaxed website launch I've ever facilitated.  

Rarely do I have the pleasure of working with partners that deliver creative and technical projects quickly, securely, and with a reasonable investment ‒ and I found it in HPL.

HPL played a critical role in telling our story, strategically building our reputation and ultimately, being sold to
Bally's for a lot of money. My HPL team completely delivered and I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Hot Paper Lantern has been an incredible partner for us. Their team really felt like an extension of ours—always proactive, responsive, and genuinely invested in what we’re building. They didn’t just focus on PR; they took the time to understand the fast-moving college sports space and were constantly learning and evolving with us. We really appreciated their hands-on support and strategic thinking throughout our time working together.
