Brigitte Pentecost

Brigitte Pentecost is a senior associate at Red Fan Communications, where she supports integrated communications campaigns across media relations, analyst relations, corporate communications, executive positioning and thought leadership. With the bulk of her professional experience in philanthropy, education and retail, Brigitte brings fresh critical thinking and strategy to Red Fan’s B2B client roster. A Longhorn by trade and lifestyle, Brigitte was the communications director for the fundraising arm of The University of Texas’ athletic department. In this role, she was responsible for leading philanthropic communications strategies and initiatives, developing executive messaging and supporting donor events and premium hospitality areas on game days. She cut her teeth in PR as the sole owner and operator of a small women’s swim retail boutique in Austin, where she developed a deep understanding of building strong brand identities and engaging storytelling in a new marketplace. Her intuition for brand positioning and business strategy is well-served by her love of rhetoric and writing, which she taught at Huston-Tillotson University and St. Edward’s University. Working at Red Fan encompasses every element that Brigitte has sought after in her career: work in an exciting, dynamic industry, collaboration with exceptional thinkers and leaders, the ability to learn something new each day, and constant opportunities to cultivate her communications skills and knowledge to deliver results that help clients own and dominate their categories.
