Kelli Komondor - CEO & Visibility Strategist
|
I am the CEO of K2 Creative & PR, a firm I started in the middle of the 2020 global pandemic. We work with many small business clients, but we've found a niche in providing public relations, creative copywriting, marketing, and branding services to authors, coaches, speakers, small business owners, nonprofits, and female entrepreneurs.
My life-long struggle with Imposter Syndrome led me to creating the anthology Twenty Won: 21 Female Entrepreneurs Share Their Stories of Resilience During a Global Crisis. My chapter, “From Imposter to Inspiration” has been read by thousands and has allowed me to inspire people from all over the world. As a dynamic speaker, I help professionals conquer their fears and insecurities when struggling with Imposter Syndrome. My signature workshop, From Imposter to Inspiration: Getting Past Imposter Syndrome and Increasing Your Visibility utilizes my “W.T.F. Tips”, relatable stories, and common-sense strategies resulting in audiences walk away feeling inspired and energized. I'm not a therapist, counselor, or coach - I simply feel that I can use my story to inspire others to do what I did: take chances that have positive, life-changing results! Besides a visibility strategist, speaker, and author - I am a mom, a wife, a friend, and a type II diabetic. In my free time, you'll find me writing, cooking and entertaining family and friends, reading food labels, drinking wine, walking, cheering on the Steelers, and "picking" at garage sales and antique stores. On the fun side: I am a lover of love, writing, and food - and a hater of hate, chaos, and stemless wine glasses!

Colleen Mycoff - Creative Design Strategist
|
I am a Graphic Designer with extensive experience in advertising design, logos, print brochures and marketing materials, digital ads, and beyond! I have experience in maintaining and understanding brand identity and the importance of a clear, consistent marketing campaign. I graduated from La Roche University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic & Communication Design. I really enjoy helping a client bring their ideas to life through design. I feel that well designed marketing materials can really enhance a business. I spent time creating ads and marketing campaigns for many Pittsburgh-area organizations when I was part of the Creative Services team at the Pittsburgh Business Times. I also help our clients by creating copy and graphics for social media.
When I am not designing, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I can often be found driving my children to their many activities and cheering them on from the sidelines. I enjoy running with friends to relieve stress and stay healthy. I have recently started crafting with a Cricut and I’m pretty sure my kids would like me to stop personalizing everything they own.

Melissa Tacka - Social & Web Strategist
|
I am a social media and web site strategist with experience in all social platforms, Wordpress, SEO, and editing. I attended Edinboro University and the University of Pittsburgh before finishing my bachelor’s degree in web page design and information systems. I’m the receptionist at David Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center in Mt. Lebanon - where I’ve expanded my everyday duties to include handling the company’s social media and website development. Prior to my current position, I was the Social Engagement Manager with the Pittsburgh Business Times and helped grow their social presence and gain real insight into how their readers were interacting with content. I also worked for the New York-based company Social Minded Media Group representing Pittsburgh-area organizations. I have extensive experience in website design, editing, and social media consulting.
Beyond my business experience, I’m a crafter who enjoys painting and drawing; and spending time with my four-legged friends. When I have time off, I prefer to be in the woods or on my yoga mat. |
Gaby Smith - Brand Strategist
|
I am a Brand Strategist with a mind for design and a background in marketing and psychology. My multidimension skill set enables me to support business owners in discovering what makes them different and how they can optimize that uniqueness to reach their audience in the most authentic and prosperous way possible. My favorite part of the client marketing journey is working with a brand that is either new or going through growing pains. That fork-in-the-road moment creates an interesting pressure that strengthens the entrepreneur and inspires them to move in an exciting direction with their marketing efforts.
I met Kelli at a networking event several years ago and we became friends and colleagues through our shared passion for marketing and helping others. In addition to my role as a Brand Strategist, I also work for a financial firm in Pittsburgh that specializes in business financial planning for entrepreneurs. When I'm not working, I enjoy nature and my art forms--whether that be painting or writing a novel. I have four children, with only the youngest still at home with me in New Wilmington, PA. And, I am also a contributing author to the book Kelli curated, Twenty Won, and wrote the chapter "Failure to Launch."
