Its meteoric rise in financial services and expansion into new markets meant the brand needed a partner who could not only work as an extension of its marketing team and C-Suite, but scale communications and PR strategies to encompass new lines of business with separate target audiences while also keeping its messaging true to its core mission. To support Q2’s rapid expansion, Red Fan built a fully integrated communications program that included: Media and analyst relations for an expanding product suite that penetrated new markets and fintech categories A thought leadership roster and speakers bureau of more than a dozen executives and subject matter experts Five strategic acquisitions Event, conference and trade association support Sales enablement and integration Owned research Best-in-class PR analytics By 2019, Q2 saw annual revenue of more than $315 million with a $3.9 billion market cap. It counted among its customer base hundreds of regional community banks and credit unions as well as about a dozen prominent fintech brands, ultimately paving the way for a new generation of financial services technology. Red Fan Communications’ media relations and thought leadership strategies placed Q2 executives in publications such as Forbes, The Washington Post, The Financial Brand, American Banker, Bank Innovation, The NAFCU Journal, PYMNTS.com, Tearsheet, Credit Union Times and dozens more. ### Fluence - Case Study Since the start of Red Fan's engagement with Fluence, we have:     Coordinated the creation, distribution and promotion of a market-leading research strategy that: Explores the real-world applications and effects of LED light spectra and intensity on a variety of crops and plants for the cannabis and commercial agriculture industries. Includes the annual publication and promotion of the Cannabis Business Times’s “State of Cannabis Lighting Report”—sponsored by Fluence—that tracks increasing market adoption of LED technology. Boosted awareness of Fluence’s horticulture services team—a group of career plant scientists, photobiologists and proven cultivators that works with individual operations to optimize their cultivation and lighting strategies—through content development, thought leadership programming, event and webinar support and media relations. Worked with Fluence’s marketing team and C-suite to develop a content strategy and thought leadership program spanning owned and earned channels that positions Fluence and its subject matter experts as the total solutions provider for cultivators. Supported internal communications programs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, working closely with the executive team to create messaging around remote work policies, office protocols and company milestones (often in the form of town halls featuring Fluence’s CEO). Over the course of our partnership, we have seen Fluence achieve major growth. In 2020, the company opened two new manufacturing facilities, one each in China and Mexico. It has solidified its market position as a leading authoritative source for scientific innovation, photobiological research, horticultural expertise and LED lighting solutions that improve operational efficiency and maximize every plant’s potential. Just as importantly, the energy-saving capabilities of LEDs are a true bright spot for an industry that will continue to increase demand for electricity.       ### Build Fax Property - Case Study Red Fan assisted the BuildFax marketing team in implementing a regular schedule of high-impact, newsworthy data reports, news announcements, contributed articles and relevant company awards.
