About the agency
Old City Public Relations is a St. Augustine, Florida boutique established in summer 2017 by founder and owner Kara Pound. Pound's official biography describes moving to St. Augustine to study at Flagler College, then spending more than a decade as a writer before becoming director of communications for a craft distillery. Her reporting and hospitality background inform the firm's earned-media and community-marketing approach.
The current team page identifies Kim Brown as director of communications; she worked in tourism and municipal government and joined the firm full-time in 2024. It also identifies Kelsey Hearns as social media manager, with experience in strategic communication and collegiate PR organizations. This mix of journalistic writing, government communication and digital content supports work for regional tourism, hospitality, culture and community-oriented organizations.
The company's public materials describe media pitching, opening announcements, public events, social promotion, communications content and relationship-building in northeast Florida. The exact establishment period and named personnel are well documented on the official team page. The site does not justify claiming particular guaranteed media placements or that every historically featured customer is current. Its St. Augustine roots and staff careers make a stronger description than a generic Florida lifestyle agency label.
