The Challenge

The DC–Maryland–Virginia region is home to one of the most vibrant communications communities in the country. Yet, unlike other industries with centralized hubs for insights, events, and opportunities, PR and Comms professionals lacked a single place to gather. Information was scattered across listservs, group chats, and fragmented platforms—making it difficult to stay connected and informed.

The Vision

As founder of Kinect, I saw an opportunity to create a space that not only consolidated resources but also celebrated the voices and talent of our region. The goal was simple: build a platform where communications professionals could stay connected, stay informed, and join a community—all in one place.

The Solution

I launched Re‑Kinect, a monthly briefing hosted on Substack, designed to be free to read and accessible to all. The publication offers:

• Events that bring the community together

• Job postings that open doors for career growth

• Spotlights on DMV professionals shaping the industry

• Portfolio takeovers that showcase creative work and spark collaboration

Beyond content, Re‑Kinect invites participation. Subscribers are encouraged to contribute blogs, share portfolios, and post open roles—making the platform a living, collaborative hub.
