Canvas8
Providing: Communications Consultancy and Media Relations.
Canvas8 is a global behavioural insights practice operating out of London, LA, New York and Sydney.
Building brand recognition and credibility via media relations, we introduced Canvas8 to journalists, and together built long-term relationships by being helpful, approachable and quick to comment, gaining an edge over rival sources of information.
The approach involved being reactive to breaking news and proactive in contributing (conveying expertise), being highly targeted (making it easy/easier for journalists to include Canvas8) and providing compelling insight and background to demonstrate the agency’s depth of knowledge and data driven insight.
The result was regular inclusion in: Nationals (including The Guardian, The Financial Times, BBC News and The Sunday Times), Business Media (including Forbes and Management Today), Marketing Media (including The Drum, Campaign and Digiday) and industry specific media as appropriate (Dazed, The Grocer, Wired and many more). Back-links within such high domain authority ranking websites were also used to greatly improve the organization's Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
Meera Pathak, Head of Product, Canvas8
"Red Five Comms has become integral to our communications strategy. From helping us build lasting relationships with journalists, to shaping our brand positioning, they really know how to spot an opportunity and work hard to deliver on it.
"Austin taught me a lot and took the time to understand Canvas8 and what we do which makes it easy for us to trust him with our brand. We love having Red Five as part of the family!"
3radical
Providing: Inbound Marketing, Thought Leadership and Content Creation.
3radical is a consumer data acquisition and audience engagement provider operating out of Bristol, Chicago Singapore and Melbourne.
Supporting a sophisticated content marketing strategy, we worked with subject matter experts and industry leaders to create compelling content that appealed to 3radical prospects and existing clients.
This required a thorough understanding of 'buyer personas' and the issues of genuine interest amongst those working in marketing and data.
Key topics included; the impact of increased data regulation and how companies must 'earn' information (and how 3radical enables that to happen), and the importance of motivational sciences to genuinely reach and influence people (with a particular focus on 'gamification', a core strength of the 3radical Voco platform).
As well as being used in inbound and outbound marketing campaigns, content was repurposed in the form of contributed articles and placed in marketing publications. The result was compelling content that appealed to the intended audiences, was inline with our messaging and 'earned' readers' attention.
Linda Vetter, Senior Vice President, Marketing, 3radical
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Red Five Comms. Austin brought research, industry knowledge, and great ideas to the table. This combination helped us exceed our content marketing efforts as we, as a brand, worked to build our thought leadership library.
"Austin listened intently, turning subject matter experts' verbal concepts into valuable assets, making suggestions, where necessary, along the way. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Red Five again."

Barbara Hueppe, Head of Corporate Communications (2015-17), Gelato
"Red Five Comms is a true partner for an in-house communications professional. Austin really invests the time to understand the brand and to get to know the in-house stakeholders - and constantly suggests new angles and initiatives grounded in this deep understanding.
"Austin's knowledge of the media landscape and outstanding media contacts have lead to great results for us. We always trusted Red Five to speak on our behalf - the biggest compliment I can give to any consultancy!"

Kirsteen Donachie, Global Head of Marketing, Jadu
Working with Austin was an absolute pleasure. As well as being an expert in PR, he brought so much more to the company. His ideas and enthusiasm were infectious but it was his honesty and willingness to always go the extra mile that stood out to me the most. He is extremely driven and would always deliver on his ideas. I hope I have the privilege of working with Austin again, and would recommend him to any company - they would be lucky to have him on board.
