Community Public Relations & Event Planning

KFL Strategies is a community public relations and event planning practice founded by Kelly F. Lydon.

The work sits at the intersection of community, public relations, and events, where connection is the strategy. KFL Strategies partners with nonprofits, small businesses, artists, and organizations to plan gatherings and build visibility in ways that feel grounded, intentional, and human.

Event planning and public relations are not treated as separate services. Events are moments of shared experience. Public relations is how that experience travels, deepens, and lasts. Together, they support work that people actually show up for and remember.

KFL Strategies plans and produces events of all kinds, from large-scale celebrations and fundraisers to smaller community programs and private gatherings. Even when an event is “just a party,” the details matter. The work often prioritizes local vendors, businesses, and partners, weaving them into the fabric of the event and the community around it.

On the public relations side, KFL Strategies focuses on community public relations. The work does not default to national campaigns or chase attention for its own sake. Audience is approached as community, not a metric. The focus is on helping clients identify, reach, and grow the communities they serve through storytelling, partnerships, and place-based visibility. Media, publicity, and social media content may come out of that work, but they are not always the starting point.

KFL Strategies brings more than two decades of experience to this work, largely in the Greater Boston area and sometimes beyond. The practice is shaped by lived experience, local knowledge, and an understanding of how people, history, and context shape communities. The work often happens publicly through events and campaigns, and sometimes quietly behind the scenes through planning and strategy.

KFL Strategies supports work that is public-facing, community-rooted, and built to last.

If you are planning an event, building visibility, or trying to show up in community in a way that feels real and memorable, KFL Strategies is well positioned to help.
