Good from the Outside Looking In - Anonymous employee Red Fan Communications Employee Review

Red Fan is a team of experts, passionate about our clients and helping them reach their goals. Having peers pulling together and supporting each other at all levels and across departments is refreshing and inspiring.

Being a part of a team that holds each other accountable and who goes above and beyond can impose a sense of always needing to perform at the top level, and that can be intimidating. However, once you understand that the entire team is here to support you, you can let go of that fear and trust that you are not doing it all alone. Working together makes us all stronger and smarter.

Red Fan has easily been the best agency I've worked for, and Kathleen has been the best boss I've ever had. I have experience at several global agencies, where I was often siloed into a couple of tasks that I performed daily, weekly or monthly. That's simply not the case at Red Fan. - Employees are asked to contribute to accounts, internal marketing and new business in a variety of ways, giving entry level employees great opportunities to acquire new skills and develop existing ones, while giving mid- to late-career employees new growth and leadership opportunities. Every employee, even entry level, is client-facing in some capacity. Kathleen is always willing to sit down one-on-one with employees at every level. - Management is incredibly transparent and always open to change/criticism if it benefits the agency and its employees. They are also very perceptive of employees' strengths and put them in the best possible position to succeed and grow personally. -The agency's culture is second to none, with frequent offsites, agency-wide book discussions, happy hours, breakfast days, fully stocked fridge, etc. The agency operates out of a historic home in Hyde Park in Central Austin. - Compensation and benefits are extremely competitive for an agency of Red Fan's size, and management does a great job of tying incentives to individual and agency performance. -The agency stresses a healthy work/life balance and is results-oriented, with flexible scheduling when needed. - Great mix of clients, from B2B tech to food and beverage. Employees are given opportunities to work on clients of all types, and to specialize in particular areas of strength as needed.

- We're growing so quickly we're going to have issues fitting everyone inside our office pretty soon.
