John Michael Kennedy

John Michael Kennedy heads JMKPR, a public relations, media and communications strategy firm that focuses on clients in the arts and other creative industries. From the performing arts to national television events, to for-profit organizations using art as an outlet or centering products and services connected to art, JMKPR clients run the gamut – but they all have creativity at the center of their work. We know how to tell local, regional and national stories of artists, organizations, creative leaders, and allies. The visual and performing arts are of special significance to the JMKPR team.

Previously John Michael served as a Vice President for Goodman Media International in New York City, and was PR team leader for media clients, publishers, universities, and more.  He led national PR for PBS and led the team that launched “The Great British Baking Show”, as well as the premiere of a documentary about the smash Broadway musical “Hamilton.” John Michael lives in Melrose, Mass., with husband Alan and their choco-labradoodle Evie.
