We love it when our clients blow us kisses

Red Fan Communications has made a HUGE difference in my business. In the space of a few short months, my little dinner delivery service has become a substantial presence on the Austin food scene—my database of email customers has doubled, and I now have retail establishments contacting me to set up accounts! The results have been real, measurable, and account for a large increase in sales. In fact, sales have almost quadrupled since we have been working together.

From the first story we worked on together, Kathleen has been a pleasure and a breeze to collaborate with. Since then, it seems like every time we speak I come away with a new story idea.

In the midst of the JPMorganChase merger, Kathleen quickly established trust with senior management from both firms and proved she has the unique ability to bring management together to truly focus on their communications goals in a way that benefits the business tremendously. The tech savvy profile she created for the firm and for individuals within LabMorgan showcasing our expertise-- is greatly coveted by our competition on Wall Street.

The trust in Kathleen's council went far beyond the firm, as our bankers requested her presence and guidance with the CEOs at their venture start-up companies to create PR programs to support IPO strategies, mergers, and purchases.  She's unflappable in her skills and someone that any CEO or executive wants to have guiding them every step of the way in promoting and guarding their brand reputation.

“With Kathleen’s guidance I have quickly achieved the right kind of indie “buzz” in my hometown of Austin, TX and in metropolitan cities worldwide. We have upped the presentation of my press packages by 1000%, garnered top picks in key internet blogs, increased my performance time in some of the best sounding rooms in Austin, and steadily improved my tracking on college, indie and NPR radio.”

"Conventional wisdom thought advances in technology to be dull and beyond the reach of the public. To the contrary, at IBM, Kathleen orchestrated a veritable explosion of publicity on the use of copper in silicon technology. Non-technical men, women and children from around the world were captivated by the use of a penny in a computer.”
Randy Isaac, Executive Director of ASA and former VP of Systems, Science and Technology for IBM Research Worldwide

“With back-to-back breakthrough chip announcements, Kathleen was able to raise IBM’s visibility through the roof while getting Moore’s Law clearly understood in the WSJ and NYTimes for the first time ever. This was the moment of truth for scientists at IBM who saw that their technologies could be appreciated and valued by investors as well as the every day person reading the paper. These PR successes transformed the way IBM and subsequently the entire hi-tech industry, approached high-tech public relations."
