About Me

She's a busy woman, and those who know her best know why. As head of The LiveWire Agency, Kelly King works everyday to maximize the opportunities the agency brings to the PR table. Above all, she is known for her youthful, electric personality and her tenacity for the fast-paced, competitive business."I strongly believe in working hard and putting in the hours, but I also know that behind that work has to be a passion and a level of fun!"It is that hard work and determination that has earned Kelly a track record beyond her years. Since her years as a high school student, she has worked for such large media outlets as ClearChannel Communications and Radio One, Inc. Continuing her work in media, she attended University of Houston, focusing on a career in journalism. As she worked as a freelance journalist, she also held down her administrative position with both KMJQ Majic 102.1 and KBXX 97.9 The Box--and actually scored a weekly column in the stations' magazine!While attending U of H, Kelly's drive kicked into high-gear! Her persistence and interest in the entertainment world took her to new heights when she landed a job in the Strategic Marketing division of Music World Entertainment (MWE). It was at MWE that Kelly caught the PR bug! There, she worked on the independent projects of each member of the Super-group Destiny's Child as well as the group as a whole, along with other MWE artists.Upon moving on, Kelly has worked for corporate and non-profit organizations independently, building a diverse work record including work with Wherehouse Music, Nelly's energy drink Pimp Juice, Don McGill Toyota (the largest Toyota dealership in the U.S.); Beyond Excellence--a non-profit dedicated to the life-success of children; AIDS Foundation Houston; Ayanna Gregory (musical artist and daughter to political activist and dietician Dick Gregory).Today Kelly is the co-founder and Sr. PR Specialist of The LiveWire Agency and she is still reaching her dreams! She has launched Sirenhouston.com, Houstonâ€™s online source for entertainment, social living and style, and represents Houston for HONEY Magazineâ€™s Beehive Diaries (www.honeymag.com/modules/bloghou)."LiveWire is part of the legacy I want to leave behind! I still have other things on my check list though...in fact, I add more dreams to the list all the time, but I'm crossing them off one at a time!
