Founded by veteran publicist and bestselling author KJ Blattenbauer, Hearsay specializes in recognition strategy: the intersection of positioning, authority, public narrative, and reputation-building. Rather than chasing visibility for visibility’s sake, the firm helps clients clarify what they want to become known for so opportunities, referrals, media attention, and thought leadership compound more naturally over time. Backed by nearly three decades in PR and media strategy, Hearsay combines editorial insight with recognition-focused positioning designed to create long-term authority, credibility, and market distinction.

A Message from KJ Blattenbauer, Co-Founder

For nearly three decades, I’ve helped founders, creatives, and industry leaders shape the stories that make people pay attention. But over time, I realized visibility alone was never the real goal. The brands that create lasting momentum are the ones people can clearly explain, confidently refer, and instantly recognize for something meaningful. That realization led me to evolve beyond traditional PR and build a recognition-focused approach centered on positioning, authority, and perception. Through Hearsay, I help clients clarify what they want to become known for so opportunities, media, partnerships, and influence compound more naturally over time. My vision is to help brilliant people stop being overlooked simply because their expertise is difficult to articulate. Recognition changes everything, and I believe the right words can alter the trajectory of an entire business.
