Today marks the start of a new chapter for – Community Agency, as the creative shop launched PUBLIC/REALM, a full-service public relations agency. The new agency will be under the leadership of industry veteran Lisa Kwong.
This expansion simplifies Community’s service offerings, creating a single destination for fully integrated marketing services, including creative, digital, design, experiential, and public relations.
"PUBLIC/REALM is the natural evolution of what we do at Community. Marketing, content creation, and design have
always been the language through which we express our ideas and stories, and our new PR offering allows us to open
new dialogues, and help brands shape not just their narratives, but their presence in the world,” says Art Mandalas,
CEO, Community Agency.

As president of PUBLIC/REALM, Lisa will be responsible for all aspects of the PR business inclusive of the agency’s vision, growth, operations and recruitment. She will also play a collaborative role in the day-to-day client services and integrated planning across both agencies.
Prior to joining Lisa was with luxury multi-brand e-commerce retailer, SSENSE, where she led the global brand communications, and managed agency partners in the United States,
Europe and Japan. Before SSENSE, Kwong served as Vice President at both Veritas Communications and Pomp & Circumstance PR, with other agency roles at Narrative PR and NKPR.
