Brand You Communications

Brand You Communications was founded by Laura-may Keohane, a communications professional with over a decade of experience working across both global corporations and startups. The agency emerged from a simple observation: many individuals and organizations possess compelling stories but struggle to articulate them effectively. Keohane recognized that the gap between having a message and delivering it with impact is often what holds people back from advancing their careers or growing their businesses. This insight led to the creation of Brand You Communications, a coaching-focused PR firm based in that prioritizes clarity, authenticity, and confidence in communication.

A Coaching-First Approach to Public Relations

Unlike traditional PR agencies that focus primarily on media pitching or press release distribution, Brand You Communications takes a fundamentally different approach. The firm positions itself as a communications coaching business first, working directly with clients to refine their messaging, improve delivery, and build lasting confidence. The agency’s methodology is grounded in the belief that effective communication is a skill that can be taught and practiced, not just a service that can be outsourced. This hands-on coaching model means that clients don't just receive polished materials—they learn how to own their narrative and connect with audiences on a deeper level. Brand You Communications serves a wide range of clients, from individual professionals to entire organizations, all seeking to strengthen their public presence.

Services and Specialties

Brand You Communications offers a suite of services designed to address the most common communication challenges faced by professionals and businesses. While the agency tailors each engagement to the client’s specific needs, its core offerings typically include:

• Job interview preparation and mock interview coaching
• Elevator pitch development and refinement
• Key presentation and public speaking coaching
• Media interview training and crisis messaging preparation
• Personal branding and storytelling workshops
• Executive communication strategy for leadership teams
• Messaging audits and audience analysis

Each service is built around the principle that communication is most effective when it is authentic and tailored to the audience. The coaching sessions are practical and results-oriented, often involving role-playing, video feedback, and iterative message refinement. By focusing on both the content and the delivery, Brand You Communications helps clients move from feeling nervous or unprepared to feeling confident and in control.

Who Benefits Most from Brand You Communications

The agency is particularly well-suited for professionals at a career inflection point—whether they are preparing for a high-stakes job interview, launching a new initiative, or stepping into a leadership role that requires more public visibility. Entrepreneurs and startup founders also find value in the coaching, as they often need to pitch their ideas to investors, partners, or the media. Additionally, organizations undergoing change or facing public scrutiny can benefit from the crisis communication training and media preparation offered by Brand You Communications. The firm’s personalized approach means that no two engagements are identical, but all are designed to build skills that last beyond a single session. For anyone in looking to communicate with greater confidence and clarity, Brand You Communications provides a practical, coaching-driven path to achieving that goal.
