Kelly O’Keefe is a founding member of Narrative, serving a diverse client base across several industries, frequently working in manufacturing and aerospace verticals. Kelly’s clients admire her clear communication, writing style, and strategic approach to brand management and reputation defense. Through her leadership approach, Kelly demonstrates her commitment to match each client’s definition of success and works collaboratively to serve as an extension of their team.
Kelly crafts tactical strategies for clients by starting with a deep understanding of the landscape and objectives, mapping key stakeholders, and creating compelling narratives that engage target audiences. When funding for a critical government agency expired, Kelly and her team assembled a coalition of more than 40 members to activate a targeted media and grassroots campaign to persuade lawmakers and the Administration to reauthorize the agency. Kelly identified, organized, and onboarded members and drafted and placed op-eds in key industry publications.
Prior to joining the Narrative team, Kelly interned and worked at the CGCN Group. She previously interned for US Representative Brian Mast (R-FL-18) and the US Commercial Service UK at the US Embassy in London.
Kelly graduated from Florida State University in 2018 with a BS in Media and Communication Studies, and a BS in International Affairs. She loves spending time outdoors, soaking up the sun and surfing whenever possible.
