The Story
Two decades of turning relationships into results
Kelly O’Shea has spent more than two decades at the intersection of public relations, luxury hospitality, travel and private aviation. She founded Kelly O’Shea Public Relations in 2011 and built her career on a simple principle: the right relationship can change the trajectory of a brand.
Her work has taken her from Caribbean and Mexican resorts to private jets, yachts, villas and high-profile lifestyle brands. Over time, traditional PR expanded into business development, partnerships, events and community relations, the work Kelly had been doing instinctively all along.
Today, she leads KOPR and its local division, Butterfly PR, while building the Palm Beach North Wellness Collective, a platform designed to connect and elevate the region’s wellness, medical, fitness, beauty and lifestyle businesses. She is also the author of How to Fall in Sh*t and Come Out Smelling Like a Rose and host of Cruising Altitude: Life Above the Turbulence.
Across every venture, the through-line is the same: connection, resilience and the belief that meaningful relationships create meaningful results.
The right relationship can change the trajectory of a brand, and sometimes a life.
Many Facets
One woman. Multiple worlds. One approach.
Off the Clock
A little slice of paradise
Home base is Jupiter, Florida, where Kelly is raising her son, Dylan, with their pocket beagle, Bailey. When she isn’t building brands or communities, she is usually near the water, writing, at a local wellness studio, or cheering from the sidelines.
