Claire Kaye develops partnerships that are deep in transparency and mutual respect. From that foundation she builds business-driving strategies with a high level of creativity that deliver strong results. But what I valued the most of our 7 years together was our ability to have the tough conversations that showed her leadership and proof she was a true steward of our brands.
I worked with Claire for close to 5 years from 2014 - 2019. In that capacity, I was overseeing two brands in cosmetics and she was running the boutique PR agency our accounts were using. I truly loved working with Claire for many reasons including her balance of creative, big ideas with concrete execution, her responsiveness and ability to problem solve, and her approach of straightforward partnership which allowed us to overcome many challenges as the industry changed drastically around us. She was constantly learning and reinventing her ideas and thoughts but also leveraging her significant experience to ensure a big idea was balanced with achievable execution. Despite running a full agency, she always had time to meet with me, hear my concerns and work with the team to drive progress. She is a wonderful client relationship manager and is an asset to anyone that works with her.
I met Claire while working on a Unilever hair care brand. I was leading digital strategy and social and she, PR. I was so intrigued when she spoke. She was unapologetically straight forward, authentic, and passionate about the brand and her expertise. She stood out to me amongst a sea of PR professionals I had met previously. Her thoughts had teeth; strategies were actionable. She is unwaveringly focused on her categories, an expert in her field and since we've worked together, I think about ways to work with her over and over again.
I’ve worked with Claire Kaye on multiple projects for blue chip beauty brands for more than 15 years. Her strategic vision for her brands and a keen sense of the media climate lead to unparalleled results. What sets Claire apart is her willingness to listen to all the voices in the room and distill them into a vision that moves the needle for her clients. This ability to listen and collaborate not only leads to great results but allows Claire to cultivate deep relationships which she is not afraid to leverage for her clients.
I have had the incredible privilege to work alongside Claire Kaye, in many roles. Claire has been my mentor, manager/CEO and client throughout my career. Having spent nearly 20 years in the beauty/lifestyle PR and brand building space, I can speak candidly that Claire has the rare skill in being as talented from a strategic business perspective as she is creatively, always with the focused goal of driving results. I have seen Claire's skill in action in many situations - whether guiding legacy brands, building strategies to transform niche brands into household names (which she's done successfully many times), revitalizing heritage brands to meet today's consumer needs, managing brands through acquisitions and more. Her relationship-building and client service skills are second to none. She is always professional, articulate and savvy in both the beauty and business landscapes and knowledgeable at the global level. I have tremendous respect for Claire and would highly recommend her to businesses at any phase of their life cycle. You will always get an honest, committed and strategic thought partner in Claire.
I’ll always value the time that I got to spend working with Claire. When people ask if I’ve ever had a mentor, I don’t have to think twice. I was lucky enough to have Claire as a manager for over 6 years, and it’s not an exaggeration to say I owe much of my success to her. She taught me how to pay attention to details, to think outside the box, to deliver news (the bad, the good, the best) to clients, and how to make a beautiful excel spreadsheet! While she started as a boss who I looked to for answers, solutions, and advice, over 14 years later she has become a friend who I look to for answers, solutions, and advice. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from one of the best!
I was introduced to Claire Kaye almost 20 years ago when I was the lead stylist for American Idol, which had just launched in the US. Claire was working for a P&G hair care line that was relaunching and looking for a voice to breathe life into her creative vision. I had never done a ‘deal’ before, and Claire was persistent, reaching out to me personally to come aboard as a brand spokesperson. That tenacity is something I now know is a hallmark of hers, and one that makes her so good at her job – she doesn’t give up and when she believes in something or someone, she gives it her all. Little did I know that a one-off branding partnership would go on to be one of the most fruitful working relationships of my career. Over the years I’ve been privy to witness Claire’s unique ability to identify niche talent which she’s able to leverage in new and unexpected ways, expanding the commercial and creative limits for both the talent and potential partners. I have personally reaped the benefits of this skillset and better still, I’ve reaped the benefits of her fierce loyalty and unconditional friendship in what can otherwise be a fickle business. Claire excels at what she does and those who have had the privilege of working with her truly know what a force she is.
Working with Claire at the beginning stages of my career in Communications, I had the opportunity to learn from the best. From her creative ideas and innovative thinking to her sharp business acumen and presentation skills, I learned so much under her tenure that has stayed with me throughout my career. I'm now a Director of Communications and I attribute much of my success flowing through different stages of my career to my learnings under Claire's leadership.
Working with Claire is a gift that sharpens you forever. I was honored to be hired by her and serve global clients under her direction. She was supportive and strategic - and taught all that worked with her to be the same. She is a masterful marketer for any business. I've seen her work magic from small brands to large global beauty brands you can find in most houses. Her ability to connect with consumers and craft engaging strategies is an art. She brings passion, energy and excitement to every project she touches.
