The agency was started in January of 2007 by Mika Kelly, who previously held PR management positions at Namco, Infogrames (Atari) and more.  

“We are so excited to reach this milestone in our company’s history,” said Mika Kelly, Principal at Clever Communications. “We have worked so hard this last year to acquire and impress our clients and our success has been evident as we have grown and flourished.
