AUSTIN, Texas (June 30, 2023)—Red Fan Communications (Red Fan), an independently
owned strategic B2B communications and advisory firm in Austin, Texas, announced today it
was awarded a 2023 Bulldog PR award. The winning entry earned bronze in the “Best Financial
Services Campaign” category for Red Fan’s work with Computer Services, Inc. (CSI), a leading
provider of end-to-end fintech and regtech solutions.
Red Fan’s team of senior consultants, whose collective experience includes collaborations with
Q2 Holdings, Inc. and AffiniPay, partnered closely with CSI’s corporate communications and
marketing leaders to drive brand awareness and promote the company’s innovative roadmap
during and beyond a $1.6 billion acquisition.
“Our work with CSI encapsulates Red Fan’s core offering: strategic solutions that impact a
business’s bottom line,” said Kathleen Lucente, CEO and founder of Red Fan. “This award is a
testament to the level of trusting partnerships we develop with our clients paired with our
decades of experience supporting financial technology innovators. Receiving recognition from
Bulldog is a true honor and I’m eager to see the innovative plans our team will continue to
develop with CSI and other fintech trailblazers.”
Red Fan engaged with CSI in 2022 on the cusp of CSI’s transition from a public company to a
private entity.
“CSI’s rich history and modern approach to the future of the financial industry laid the
groundwork for the incredible stories we have the privilege of sharing with the media,” said
Emma Chase, supervisor of client services at Red Fan Communications. “Our award-winning
work with CSI marks another accolade celebrating our unique approach to media relations,
strategic communications and brand building for B2B technology companies.”
Red Fan’s latest win follows its gold and silver 2021 Bulldog PR Awards for “Best
Cause/Advocacy Campaign” on behalf of Texas Original and “Best Diversity/Inclusion
Campaign” for its engagement with Female Founders First by Barclays and Techstars.
