In 2020 - the year of necessary changes for small businesses, nonprofits, and corporations... I found the courage to follow my dreams - to start a business and become a published author.
I am Kelli A. Komondor, the president and CEO of K2 Creative & PR, a firm I started in the middle of the 2020 global pandemic. I work with many small business clients, but I’ve found a niche in providing creative copywriting, public relations, marketing, and branding services to authors, coaches, speakers, and female entrepreneurs.
I am the creator, project manager, and a contributing author of the Amazon bestseller Twenty Won, an anthology of 21 female entrepreneurs sharing their stories of business resilience during the global pandemic. My chapter, "From Imposter to Inspiration" focuses on how I overcame imposter syndrome to start my business and inspire a group of women to participate in the Twenty Won book.
I am the co-creator and co-host of the Biz Bevs & Bites in the Burgh and Beyond Podcast. Biz Bevs & Bites is a podcast that engages, educates, and enlightens! Episodes will spotlight a BIZ topic and guest, feature a BEV – wine, beer, or spirit, or a BITE from an area restaurant, food producer, bakery, or specialty grocer. My partner Cindy and I will sip and nosh and chat with each other – and with interesting and educational entrepreneurs – about the topics that matter most to business owners, consumers… and foodies!
I love to share my career history and how I went from feeling like an imposter, to being an inspiration. I use my diverse professional background of writing and storytelling, PR and communications, team leadership and management, marketing and new business development, and event planning and execution to have down-to-earth conversations and to continually find ways to use my experiences to mentor other women and entrepreneurs.

Besides an author, publicist, podcast host, and marketer, I'm also a mom, a wife, and friend, and a type II diabetic. Diagnosed in December 2019, I managed to gain control of my health with smart food choices and exercise - leading to losing over 30 pounds and only requiring insulin injections for just the first four months after diagnosis.

"I thoroughly enjoyed having Kelli as a guest on my podcast. She is not only smart, insightful, and super qualified to discuss a wide range of topics related to marketing and entrepreneurship, but she's also a fun and lively conversationalist who brings a ton of energy and positive vibes to the discussion. As a podcast host, I'm always looking for guests who can add a dash of showmanship to the interview, and Kelli delivered big time. I'd be happy to have her back on my show in a heartbeat."

"Kelli led the discussion about “building a village” at the Brave Women Brunch in June. She is masterful at priming a topic for feedback from multiple perspectives, and in this case, built the conversation from who’s in your village, to why you need one, and onto how it changes over time. She carried the multi-generational sharing session to a bundle of takeaway gems encouraging understanding and support while receiving the same."

"This woman, Kelli Komondor, is a PR girl's dream come true. From the sense that you can count on her and she'll respond to you quickly and execute what you need. She listens, really listens. She's a Pittsburgh gal, but she's thoroughly well-versed in her job as a "people person." She's helped me penetrate the local market even with PR being the crap shoot that it is and still during the pandemic. She's helped me ride above the noise. In Pittsburgh, an insular community that it is, that's something."
