Kohnstamm Communications

Kohnstamm Communications, named U.S. Boutique Agency of the Year 2010 by the Holmes Report Sabre Awards, is a Twin Cities-based firm recognized for its success transforming product and organizational brands through public relations. “The fastest growing top 10 PR agency in the upper Midwest.” Named a top 10 U.S. agency for corporate social responsibility in 2013. (Top PR Agencies.com). The 13-person agency is known for its accomplishments in business media, csr, and consumer media relations especially in the food and beverage industry. Other sector specialties include: medical devices, higher education, financial services, home, personal care and other CPG brands. The Kohnstamm agency has won kudos for its transparent and collaborative ability to partner with clients, yielding exceptional outcomes.

Beyond traditional PR, Kohnstamm has become a nationally known agency in leveraging social media for its clients, focusing its programs and campaigns on “influencers” who are considered opinion-leaders through blogs or in social networking and are able to sway public opinion regarding certain brands or products. Greg Zimprich, a brand PR veteran of 20 years at General Mills and known nationally for his work in online PR, continues to set the gold standard for how brand perceptions can be positively impacted through an integrated approach melding both traditional and social media approaches.

Rated a “Best Place to Work” agency by the Holmes Report, the agency has attracted seasoned PR veterans and journalists. Half of Kohnstamm's client roster resides outside the Midwest. The reason: corporate marketing professionals are seeking smaller teams of strategically focused PR veterans who can execute programs reliably. Kohnstamm has built its reputation on generating results.
