What Kaye does

Kaye Communications (dba KCOM-PR) is a full-service marketing and public relations firm headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, founded in 1996 and operated by principals Bonnie Kaye (President and Chief Strategist) and Jon Kaye (Partner). The firm provides strategic communications, branding, media relations, crisis management, content development, and special event management to clients across healthcare, hospitality, lifestyle and retail, professional services, arts and culture, government, sports, and nonprofit sectors. The firm has served 500+ named clients and worked with 500+ nonprofit organizations over its 28+ year history.

The firm's core practice areas are Strategy and Branding, Integrated Public Relations, and Content and Design, supplemented by named methodologies including KCOM EVAL-U (marketing ROI assessment), KCOM CrisisPro (crisis communications), BizGen (business generation), Community Connecteurs (community engagement consulting), and the ER (Ever-Ready) Crisis Plan. Service delivery is human-expertise driven; there is no proprietary technology platform, AI tooling, or data product. The firm's go-to-market relies on direct client engagement, civic network relationships (notably through the Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton, which the firm founded in 2012, and the FAU Schmidt College of Medicine White Coats-4-Care initiative co-chaired since 2010), referral networks, and event-driven visibility including a recurring role with the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl. The firm has accumulated 10 Bernays Awards (2007-2024) and was named a 2023 Small Business Leader of the Year by the Boca Chamber.

Revenue is generated through custom-priced, project-based professional services engagements with multi-year contract structures. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or outside investment; the firm is bootstrapped and principal-led. The addressable market is regional South Florida with select national accounts, and there are no signals of geographic expansion beyond the existing footprint.
