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.

Red Fan jumped in as a strong strategic public relations partner from Day One and helped us bring Lemonade Day Austin to the next level by securing top-notch judges for the tasting, as well as securing the print, online and TV coverage we knew would have the biggest impact. In addition, they brought fresh ideas to the table at every meeting and delivered an outstanding marketing video that we will use for years to come to promote the event and secure top-notch sponsors.

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.

Kathleen and her team at Red Fan are amazing partners. And “partner” is the word to emphasize. I have no doubt that they are as invested in our success and outcomes as we are. The experienced team brings new and creative ideas, but they also ask questions and challenge us in areas that need to be examined. I have learned to respect not only their day-to-day expertise in media and PR but more importantly their overall strategy and business sense. We are lucky to have such a seasoned group of professionals in our corner. This team is responsive and easy to work with – plus they are just a whole lot of fun. The only downside of this recommendation is that we want to keep them to ourselves!

Working with the amazing team at Red Fan has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Kathleen and her team are such talented professionals who really know how to work on all aspects of a successful PR effort. Not only do they have and make the appropriate contacts, but their creativity is exceptional. Emma—who headed the effort for the Kite Festival and MossFest—is a delight to work with and is so passionate about our event. I look forward to a long term relationship with this fantastic team.

Setting in place an effective communications and marketing strategy begins with an honest look at one’s capacity, assets, and gaps, and the willingness to go beyond what’s comfortable and into what’s innovative and challenging. Red Fan Communications helped us look at our current work and potential to have greater impact in the community we work with and serve. They helped with not just a shift in thinking, but also a mindset change as to how powerful messages not only make something clear and tangible but also motivating and inspirational.

Kathleen is a very strategic thinker, and has helped us think of new ways to improve and even secure critical resources for our big annual event. I appreciate that she is really invested in the projects she takes on, bringing her full energy and contacts to the table. From bringing speakers to securing luncheon chairs, Kathleen takes her client work seriously and it shows. Kathleen and her team at Red Fan have done an excellent job of establishing our messaging, building buzz around our educational seminars, promoting our awards luncheon as a must-attend event as well as establishing the social media presence and brand image for Austin Gives year-round. Red Fan is essential in driving the Austin Gives PR efforts and each year they have had the media show up to our awards luncheon with enthusiastic endorsements. I highly recommend them as a trusted adviser and the agency you want by your side.

Red Fan Communications was an indispensable partner in helping the Trail of Lights Foundation. The team’s creativity, skills and approach not only helped secure the largest historic event attendance to date, but raised the caliber and reach of Austin’s favorite holiday party.

With Red Fan’s partnership, the Trail of Lights Foundation has been able to effectively raise community interest and awareness of the ways to enjoy this authentically Austin community celebration. We sincerely appreciate their professionalism, creativity and strategic approach. It was a pleasure to work with Red Fan!

Red Fan is a wonderful partner. The team has helped reinvigorate the Trail of Lights brand, securing new audiences at local, regional and national levels. From creative ideas to strategic partnerships to top-notch execution, Red Fan is a valued and critical part of our team.
