Pattan & Co.

Pattan & Co. is a St. Louis–based strategic communications and public relations firm with deep local expertise and an active national practice. Founded in 2017 by Lindsay Pattan, the firm specializes in serving organizations operating in public, complex, and highly visible environments, including developers, civic institutions, cultural organizations, and hospitality and entertainment brands. The company's work spans district launches, cultural initiatives, community engagement, national brand expansion, and reputation-sensitive communications programs.

The firm offers a comprehensive suite of communications services, including fractional communications leadership embedded as an extension of client teams, full-service public relations from strategy through execution, launch and milestone campaigns, media relations, narrative storytelling, reputation and risk management, and community engagement and outreach. Pattan & Co. also provides placemaking and programming strategy, event production, and project management for complex, high-touch communications environments.

Pattan & Co. serves clients across several core verticals: business, economic development, and commercial real estate; civic institutions and placemakers; cultural institutions; and hospitality and entertainment brands, including national multi-location brands and commercial real estate groups. Their geographic footprint is extensive, with active programs in St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Reno, Carson City, Las Vegas, Boston, Scottsdale, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and statewide throughout Missouri and Illinois.

A distinguishing characteristic of the firm is its commitment to senior-level counsel on every engagement. Strategy, key decisions, and client relationships are managed directly by experienced leadership rather than delegated to junior staff. The team is supported by account managers, creatives, writers, publicists, producers, event staff, and trusted contractors, ensuring disciplined execution across all program types.

Notable outcomes delivered for clients include successful launches of districts, destinations, venues, and major public-facing projects; district growth through increased foot traffic, development momentum, and investor interest; expanded audiences and membership for cultural institutions; stronger executive positioning and public trust; and sales growth for entertainment venues, attractions, and hospitality brands.

Founder and Principal Lindsay Pattan brings 20 years of communications and PR experience spanning the video game industry, national footwear brands, lifestyle media, and civic institutions. She co-led an Emmy-winning project and was recognized as a national Folio: 30 Under 30 Honoree for Innovation in Media. Director Allie Magee contributes over a decade of experience in public relations, marketing, and development across St. Louis's arts, culture, and community sectors, with prior leadership roles at the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival and Nine PBS.
