A publicist from Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa (Auckland, New Zealand), Kelly’s entire career has been spent working in the entertainment and live events sector.
Joining Michael Cassel Group from Elephant Publicity in New Zealand, Kelly has experience across theatre, comedy, music, and children’s entertainment, with a specialty focus on publicity for festivals. Kelly’s previous work includes the annual campaigns for the NZ International Comedy Festival and Auckland Pride Festival, national campaigns for independent theatre companies, and collaborating with venues on publicity and marketing for their theatrical work.
