St. Pete-based public relations firm changes ownership

B2 Communications, a public relations agency in the Tampa Bay and Central Florida regions, has changed owners.

Missy Hurley, who co-founded the public relations agency in 2010, acquired co-founder Kyle Parks' shares of the company and has become the agency's sole owner, the company says in a news release.

Hurley led the operational and financial functions for the agency, in addition to counseling the firm's clients in effective communications, through 13 years, B2 officials say. Hurley will move from principal and co-owner into the CEO role.
