Strategic Communication for Startup Companies, Enterprises and Institutions

Diane Riedel (nee Redlich) founded redlich kommunikation in Munich in 2003. She advises startup companies, enterprises and institutions on their corporate communications activities, providing support for their operations in Germany and abroad.

For companies without a communications department, Diane can take on the position of Head of Communications and Company Spokesperson. In this instance, she can manage all media contacts on behalf of her clients. She has international experience, especially in opening up new markets, as well as establishing companies and brands.

She brings together a team of highly-qualified specialist freelance professionals to accomplish the clients’ goals. Her clients include large well-known companies, small to medium-sized businesses, as well as startups and entrepreneurs.

The startup world exemplifies a new way of working – it is important to be agile and collaborative, be integrated within ecosystems and use your own resources where they add the most value. That is in establishing your own innovative business model in the market. Corporate communications, PR and public affairs are often areas where entrepreneurs have less professional experience and reliable networks. Diane fills this vacuum in close cooperation with the founders and teams.

Diane operates within a well-established network of media, political institutions, and industries. Her business ethos is based on absolute discretion and confidentiality. Her successful track record in business has been built predominantly on referrals and recommendations.

This series of events is only one of the many ways she brings selected industry experts together.
