You’re in good company.

Red Fan turns communications into competitive advantage for innovative B2B tech brands. See what our clients and partners have to say about Red Fan.

Red Fan has been a critical strategic adviser to my team from the moment we hired them. As a high-growth company, we’re constantly faced with new business challenges, and we needed a partner whose approach is built on trust, adaptability and results. Red Fan has brought a much-needed outside perspective to my own teams, from executive-level meetings and strategy down to specific marketing tactics and processes, and Fluence is simply better off because of it. I’m confident Red Fan is the right agency to execute on the evolving needs of our business, including media relations and thought leadership as well as global expansion and growth.

David Cohen

CEO

Going from public to private and introducing two new companies in just two years requires careful messaging to our stakeholders, including our employees, customers and the media. However, with their thorough research of our technologies, culture and customers, Red Fan helped prevent any misunderstandings throughout our entire journey. Their trusted-advisor approach to our needs helped keep us on the right path and netted the coverage we needed to tell our story.

Jennifer Werner

Chief Marketing Officer

In my experience leading marketing and communications organizations, finding a PR partner that can move as fast as your business is rare. We brought Red Fan on for media relations, and they quickly became one of the first calls we make when we’re navigating a communications decision. That kind of trust takes time to build in most agency relationships, but Red Fan earned it by consistently delivering results and bringing strategic thinking to every conversation.

Kristin Agnelli

CMO and SVP of Communications

Austin Capital Bank builds world-class financial products. Telling our own story is a different skill set entirely — we’re experts in fintech and banking, not communications, and that’s where Red Fan came in. When we launched FortKnox.Bank, Red Fan helped us figure out how to talk about what we do — and why it matters. That sounds simple, but it’s harder than it looks when you’re building something new to the world that doesn’t fit neatly into any existing category. The coverage, relationships, and doors they’ve opened have been real.

Most agencies help you promote a product. Red Fan helped us build the foundation for what Austin Capital Bank is becoming — a bank known for solving problems other banks can’t or won’t. That story attracts great people, great partners, and great customers. It compounds — and Red Fan helped us tell it.

Erik Beguin

CEO and Founder

Candid engaged Red Fan to help shift our thinking about how we leverage media not just for coverage, but to advance our thought leadership and position Candid as a critical resource in our field. Our collaboration was deep and thoughtful, with Red Fan taking the time to understand our complex organization and provide guidance that spoke to our subject matter experts’ strengths and unique perspectives. Their strategic approach to placing content and supporting the launch of a critical research report was crucial in securing placement in impactful media outlets that directly connect with our key audiences.

Mary Steyer

Sr. Director of Communications & Brand Awareness

Working with the Red Fan Communications team has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their thoughtful approach to brand development and marketing strategy set the foundation for what quickly became one of the most seamless and creative collaborations we’ve ever been a part of. From our initial brand and content discussions last fall to the soon-to-rollout, amazingly designed, user-friendly website and a versatile promotional content library, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, creativity and attention to detail.

What stood out most was the team’s ability to not only deliver high-quality materials but also anticipate our needs, making everything easy to manage long after their work was complete. The final ‘products’ truly reflect the spirit and professionalism of IREM Austin, and we’re excited to carry this work forward.

Jennifer George

Executive Director

Health care is unlike any other product or service when entering new markets. The close and personal impact it has on members requires us to authentically create and convey a sense of comfort and safety with our brand. Red Fan’s crisis communications and media training helped us deliver the heart-felt and authentic message we needed to foster trust and new relationships within our target communities. Best of all, they secured the right media opportunities and provided diligent training to make me feel secure and prepared for each interview.

Meredith Duncan

CEO

Austin Capital Bank isn’t a typical community bank—we have a 50-person engineering team building products from the ground up. That means any communications partner needs to understand both the regulatory realities of banking and the product development mindset of a fintech. Red Fan got up to speed fast. They engaged credibly with our technical team, translated complex product capabilities into market-ready messaging and helped position Fort Knox in a way that resonated with analysts and media who cover fintech innovation. For a bank operating at the intersection of community banking and technology, finding that combination of expertise is rare.

Bob Weinschenk

President of Digital Products

Hiring Kathleen and Red Fan Communications could quite possibly be the single best business decision I have made. Within the first few months of hiring Kathleen, she has taken my business to a new level. Total Mommy Fitness is now more marketable, competitive and professional than it has ever been. She has helped me completely transform my company while staying true to my vision. Kathleen is extremely talented and has done an incredible job generating buzz and getting the media’s attention. I recommend her on a regular basis, and would suggest Red Fan Communications to anyone who is looking for PR and marketing assistance.

Tatum Rebelle

Founder

I would HIGHLY recommend Red Fan Communications as true experts in marketing and PR. I had been on my own two years with great results, but lacked the ability to clearly express my value proposition to others. Kathleen and her expert team took me through an extremely valuable positioning exercise resulting in total clarity. For the first time, I had a comprehensive view of what my clients value most, the competition and how I could stand out in the market. It was a very worthwhile investment!

Linda Glass

Owner, Executive Coach & Talent Strategist

Red Fan provided invaluable integrated marketing and communications support for SourceDay through multiple phases of our company’s growth. When the global supply chain virtually collapsed in 2020, SourceDay doubled down on our procurement-focused strategy to support enterprises throughout the world with leading direct spend software. In tandem, Red Fan doubled down on our thought leadership strategy to reinforce our expertise in supply chain resiliency. As a result, Red Fan secured coverage in dozens of SourceDay’s target media publications and maintained awareness with the industry’s most notable analysts.

Tom Kieley

CEO

Red Fan is a partner who can move quickly during an app launch. The team quickly advised us on the materials needed to be successful on launch day and began securing coverage that helped lead to more than 10,000 downloads in the first week alone!

Andy Greff

CEO and founder

Great partners are hard to come by and when you find one that really ‘gets it’, you hold on tight. I knew Kathleen and her team would be a great partner for us around Lemonade Day. The connections she and her team brought really enhanced the outcome of this special annual event. We look forward to working with Red Fan again and recommend them highly.

Eugene Sepulveda

CEO

Kathleen and her team at Red Fan Communications are top-notch. It is a pleasure to work with her. We have produced events and photo shoots together for her client, Carlisle, in Greenwich, Connecticut, and New York City. Kathleen is organized, timely and keeps the ball rolling! She attains terrific press coverage for the events and uses all types of media sources.

Elaine Ubina

Owner

Before hiring Red Fan Communications, BuildFax didn’t have a strong national presence. Since collaborating with Kathleen and her team, we have been in such prestigious publications as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Bloomberg and appeared on the CNBC television network. We can’t express enough gratitude for their strategic partnership and the momentum it has and continues to create for our company.

Holly Tachovsky

Co-Founder and CEO

I think you have really captured us in a way that rings true, but with more clarity and interest than we had captured with our own words. It has been a great experience.

Stacy Morgan

CEO and Cofounder

When we started working with Red Fan, the UMLAUF was going through a brand transition, one that needed PR attention. Since beginning our work with their team, it has been a partnership in its truest form. We have collaborated together on many projects that have put the UMLAUF at the forefront of the art community’s mind, and they have helped our team look at things in different and unique ways. We are thrilled to have them as part of our team to communicate the UMLAUF’s great events, exhibitions and news to the Austin community and nationwide.

Sarah Story

Executive Director

Our special evening event with Jack Ryan was the first of its kind for Bremont in Austin. We have a special story with a unique history all within a luxury environment. The Red Fan team understood every element of who we are as a brand and created an environment that truly suited Bremont and our exclusive partnership with Jack Ryan. From a hand-picked menu to perfect music all the way through to an A-list guest list of local/national members of the press and customers who appreciate a luxurious event, the night could not have gone better.

Mike Pearson

North American Director

We should have called Red Fan years ago. They jumped into a complex project that was already underway, got up to speed in days, and had a world-class comms plan within a week. Their team thought through every detail, prepped our senior leaders for contingencies, and helped us take a big step up in the professionalism of our communications strategy. We won’t do another big launch without their leadership from the get-go.

Hudson Baird

Executive Director

Kathleen has been able to take my business to the next level in a very short amount of time. When I first hired Kathleen she was able to quickly assess where my business was at and connect me with people who could help with brand identity and web services. She was able to help me look at my business not only today, but in the future, and ensure that I am laying the foundation correctly for where I want to be in 10 years.
