Kids ask the best questions: simple, direct and sometimes painfully honest. Science communicator Katia Moskvitch, MPHIL, uses this approach in the podcast she hosts with her young son Kai.

Katia is also the director of communications at Quantum Machines.

The Economist engaged HKA as PR agency for our Commercialising Quantum series of events in 2023. We very much enjoyed working with Hilary and her team and benefited from their ability to engage the relevant media outlets to generate press coverage of our event and broaden its reach. We were grateful for the support that HKA offered in amplifying our speakers and sponsors' announcements to the quantum industry press and felt assured that our partners were in safe hands when making introductions. Thanks again Hilary and team!
