If you have dined at one of Connecticut’s most talked about restaurants over the past two decades, chances are Linda Kavanagh had something to do with it.
Before social media. Before influencers. Before opening night previews became strategy, there was Linda. And while I am obsessed witth her on a personal AND professional level, there is a reason she is where she is.
Founder of MaxEx Public Relations, Linda Kavanagh is not simply a publicist. She is a hospitality insider who has lived every corner of the industry. Chef. Bartender. Catering director. Operator. She understands the pulse of a restaurant because she has worked the line, poured the wine, and managed the chaos.
That foundation is exactly how she built one of the region’s most established hospitality PR firms.
Today, MaxEx operates as a full scale, soup to nuts agency serving restaurants, wine and spirit brands, retail properties, real estate collectives, and hospitality groups throughout Connecticut and New York. What began as Linda’s industry driven vision has evolved into a strategic team effort, supported by seasoned professionals across media, digital, influencer marketing, partnerships, and brand development.
MaxEx campaigns extend far beyond traditional press outreach. The firm integrates launch strategy, brand positioning, social media and influencer engagement, media relations, imagery direction, events, and cross promotional partnerships. Every campaign is designed to reinforce the brand while building meaningful consumer connection.
MaxEx has worked with more than 400 restaurants to date. Some launching. Some repositioning. Some refining their concept for long term growth. In an industry where openings are constant and competition is relentless, the ability to carve out a niche and create sustained visibility is rare.
Restaurants call Linda and her team when they are ready to do it right. When they are entering the market. When they are elevating their presence. When they want to dominate their category.
Because this is not just publicity.
It is hospitality expertise paired with strategic storytelling.
In a world flooded with marketing noise, Linda Kavanagh remains one of the industry’s most respected authorities. The experience. The instinct. The relationships. The perspective.
MaxEx is not simply PR. It is precision storytelling for brands that want longevity.
And under Linda’s leadership, the firm continues to evolve alongside the industry it helped shape.
If you’re in need of restaurant/ hospitality PR – Linda is your girl.
