Steele Rose Communications History
Steele Rose Communications is an independently owned, full-service marketing communications and public relations agency founded by award-winning, 25-year PR veteran, Karen Barnett. Blending corporate, agency and hands-on business experience from her own retail venture, Munchkids Village, Steele Rose Communications is built on the foundation that exemplifies her proven business style. Karen's unique management approach has been honed from years of working across a broad spectrum of industries and marketing disciplines either with or for some of the world's most renowned global consumer products companies and public relations agencies.

Today, Steele Rose Communications has a healthy account mix in the fashion, beauty, consumer products, event marketing, crisis management, and food and beverage fields. Each client gets Karen's personal attention and unfiltered thinking and counsel. The agency is serviced by three senior level managers, a Marketing group, full administrative and support staff including IT and finance and a network of professionals that work exclusively for the agency. Most recently, Steele Rose Communications formed a strategic alliance with West Coast Public Relations/Advertising Agency, Pilar Montoya Communications, to broaden our services to include specialized Latino market media outreach capabilities. This affiliation also provides Steele Rose Communications with the addition of three fully-staffed office locations in Sacramento and San Francisco, California and Mexico City, Mexico.

Flexibility and adaptability is the core of our strategic planning, creative development, media relations planning process, account management and tactical execution. Our consumer products, retail and crisis management heritage has trained us well in the areas of responsiveness and resourcefulness - to work with less planning time, less budget, more competition, and more crises.
