NEW YORK – Marino, a strategic communications firm with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, today announced it has added The New York City Hospitality Alliance as its newest client. 

Founded in 2012, The New York City Hospitality Alliance (The Alliance) is the city’s leading advocacy group for restaurants, hotels, bars, and nightlife venues.

The Alliance acts as a liaison between the hospitality industry, government and the press, advocating for a fair and equitable regulatory environment that removes barriers to entrepreneurship and job creation. They aim to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens, streamline the permit and licensing process, cut the red tape, and represent the industry’s perspective on proposed laws, regulations, trends and other matters impacting restaurant and nightlife establishments.

 “We’re proud to be working with an organization that is vital to the economic footprint and social fabric of New York City,” said John F. Marino, the president of Marino. “The hospitality industry weaves into every walk of life in New York and we plan to advance their important work through strategic communications and advocacy.”
