markets.
Together with our full-service
digital unit RFI Studios, Ruder
Finn works with some of the
world’s leading technology companies
to create meaningful content,
including engaging visuals
and videos, and dynamic stories
for digital and traditional mediums
that resonate with important stakeholders.
This breadth of knowledge
and capabilities has resulted
in numerous close partnerships
with C-suite and marketing executives
at top technology companies
to develop signature platforms to
elevate their thought leadership
externally.
Ruder Finn also works to create
technology mindsets and
build new innovation capabilities
in companies in industries outside
tech who increasingly realize
that technology is core to their
competitiveness. From consumer
packaged goods to healthcare and
insurance companies, we’ve developed
a multi-faceted offering
around organizational transformation
through technology. As part of
this, we offer a formalized suite of
services, known as RF TechTalent,
that provides clients with the platforms
and tools to identify, recruit,
develop, and retain technology
talent — no matter what industry
the company is in. We also focus
on driving cultural change within
specific organizational functions
via startup partnerships and accelerated
collaborative timeframes. In
addition, we provide clients with
innovative technologies developed
in-house, including real-time
multi-market crisis training and
sensory-driven interactive digital
installations.

In response to increased market
demand to establish reputation,
create demand and drive acceleration,
Trevelino/Keller, positioned
today as a “Digital PR and Marketing
Firm,” has expanded its
service capabilities around four
core strengths: Brand-Content,
PR-Social, Creative-Web and
Inbound-Outbound Marketing.
Having successfully solidified its
position as one of the preeminent
technology firms in the Southeast
with clients ranging from
the region’s leading angel group,
ATA, the new breed of incubator/co-working
brands, ATV, and
a diverse mix of early stage and
established hardware, software,
SaaS, wireless, networking, health
IT, security, ecommerce, mobile
applications and vertically rich
technology companies, the firm
is beginning to compete outside
the region to take advantage of
its San Francisco footprint established
in late 2014. Enhancing the
firm’s PR-Social capabilities is its
Groovy Studios brand, made up of
in-house specialists that deliver its
content, creative, web and digital
marketing capabilities. Groovy
Studios serves clients in an integrated
fashion as well as for specific
creative executions.
Furthering its commitment to
technology and startups, the firm
is relaunching its Start-Opia startup
portal in Q4 as a startup exchange
designed to connect startups
with service providers across
eight core disciplines: PR, Social,
Web, Brand, Legal, Coding, Accounting
and Content. With one
of the industry’s highest retention
rates, Trevelino/Keller successfully
leverages its technology practice
across each of its supporting
practices — technology, corporate,
lifestyle, health, greenworks
and food & beverage, from offices
in Atlanta, Charleston, SC and Orlando,
FL and the Bay Area.
