Ara and her team are an integral part of SIX’s ‘Royal Family’ and have transformed the PR outputs of the show with their proactive and fantastic approach. Their enthusiasm, realism and ideas are always hugely appreciated, and they go above and beyond every time to make sure their work continues to reach potential audiences with stories about SIX, but to amplify the message behind the production too.

ANRPR has supported the PR work of the Belgrade for a number of years. Arabella has been a highly valued member of our extended team, helping to guide us through a period of enormous change.
Her experienced and calm-headed approach has been invaluable, and with her friendly, personable manner she brings a sense of fun and perspective to even the most pressurised situations.

Head of Communications
Belgrade Theatre
Arabella has been an invaluable part of the Barn Theatre team, fitting seamlessly into our ethos and way of working. It’s easy to forget that she’s an external consultant, because of her unwavering dedication and ability to deliver far beyond expectations.
With her finger on the pulse at all hours, Arabella has been instrumental in crafting and executing a sophisticated, strategic PR approach that has elevated the Barn from a local theatre to a major player in the UK theatre ecosystem. Thanks to her tireless work, we’ve secured consistent coverage in major national outlets as well as vital local publications, ensuring our voice is heard and our work is celebrated.
The strides we’ve made over the last few years simply wouldn’t have been possible without Arabella’s expertise and commitment, supported by her brilliant team.

Since taking on Arabella and her team, we saw a marked increase in press interest in Polka, on a local and national level. Not only did it increase, but it has been sustained which is really important for a venue like Polka which has so many strings to its bow. Working with the team, we have set a clear ongoing strategy for press comms, and Ara is always integral to all conversations - we know even as a smaller venue that we aren’t overlooked. With a strong, communicative working relationship, we are confident in her ideas and knowledge of the industry, and we always feel listened to as well.

ANRPR’s support has been invaluable to us as a new organisation. Their team has strategically positioned us in front of key arts journalists, enabling us to establish valuable media connections and share our stories, productions, and insights with a national audience.
They’ve not only helped us build a national profile but have also prioritised our local media relationships, fostering strong connections with regional outlets to effectively spotlight our productions, community involvement, and growing reputation.
With their extensive network and expert guidance, ANRPR has consistently secured media reviews and press coverage across a wide array of outlets for each of our projects, as well as for our organisation as a whole. Their skill in managing high-profile talent—and in maximizing media interest around that talent—has been invaluable to this success.
Above all, they are an absolute pleasure to work with.

I’ve worked with Ara for years… she’s great. Even when you think you’re right, she knows best and will skilfully and tactfully argue you round. Best just trust her and watch the reviews roll in…

Ara is without a doubt the reason for our renewed success and growth. Her absolute drive to help people and her passion for work means that I feel completely supported at all times and I know that her ideas will always steer me in the right direction. I cannot say enough about how brilliant her work is, and encourage everyone to have her work on your PR. You will not be disappointed.

ANRPR have been our go-to agency for our ongoing external PR support. The experience that Arabella and her team have provided us as an organisation has been invaluable. From developing initial comms through pitching and delivering a fully fledged campaign, working with ANRPR has been like having an extra member of the team. Where time is precious, having the skills of the ANRPR team at hand provides an efficient working relationship to get the job done. I would thoroughly recommend Ara and her team for those needing support and insight from a great team to work with.

Arabella is all we could ask for in a Comms advisor – honest, unflappable, knowledgeable and focused. Whether she’s engaging on the nuance of high-level messaging strategy, or on the detail of delivering a comprehensive PR plan, her advice is always on point. She is deeply passionate about the industry and holds herself to a high standard…which shows in the quality work she and her team deliver, time and time again
Tony Lankester
Executive Director
Riverside Studios
We’ve worked with Ara on two shows so far and hope to continue working with her on many, many more. She’s smart, has a great contact book, knows how to work with talent, is always available and full of positive energy. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Patrick Myles and David Luff
Producers
We’ve been working with ANR PR for a number of years, through organisational leadership changes, our old historic pub theatre closing, our new building opening and capital projects and on multiple shows campaigns and really enjoy her style of working, commitment and she is always quick and dynamic…needed with a busy organisation like ours! Arabella has worked with us on creating bespoke packaged to ensure we’re able to support as many artists and shows as we can within budgets and supported us in rebuilding our press relations from the ground up. Now the team is growing, the support has only elevated.
Sofi Berenger
Acting CEO
King’s Head Theatre
Hackney Empire has worked with ANRPR for over six years now and the meaningful relationship we’ve built has been instrumental in growing our brand and our reputation in the industry. Alongside promoting our year-round variety programme, in our 120th anniversary year, ANRPR played a vital role in garnering media traction, with coverage across national news, as well as supporting us to make sure we told the story locally as well. For the past couple of years they have also covered the PR for our legendary pantomime, ensuring it is regarded as one of the very best in London. I couldn’t endorse ANRPR more, as a PR agency who always take the time to fully invest themselves in the organisations they work with, understand our audiences and our unique vision as a theatre, and use this to craft out space for us in such a busy media landscape
