Co-founded in 2008 by Lyndsey Cooper and Chad Fabrikant, the firm celebrated 18 years in business in 2026 and operates with a team of more than 35 communications and social media professionals. The firm originated as Carma PR and rebranded as Carma Connected in 2017 to reflect its expanded social media, content, and influencer practices.

Specialization

Hospitality, entertainment, lifestyle, fashion, consumer, and nightlife communications — with particular depth in hotels, restaurants, nightlife venues, spirits brands, and cultural institutions. The firm offers public relations, social media management, influencer relations, content creation, event planning, branding, marketing, and crisis management.

Las Vegas expansion

In May 2023, Carma Connected announced its first office outside Miami Beach, launching a Las Vegas operation under veteran hospitality publicist Stephanie Capellas. The Vegas office expanded the firm's hospitality and entertainment practice into a market where many of Carma's existing South Florida hospitality clients had been building national footprints. In April 2025, Kristin Whittemore joined as Vice President to lead West Coast operations.

Notable client work

Carma Connected's published client roster includes 1 Hotel South Beach, E11EVEN Miami, Myles Restaurant Group, Warren Henry Auto Group, Goldman Properties, Groot Hospitality, Kilgore Culinary, and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science.
