B-REBEL COMMUNICATIONS

Company Bio:

B-REBEL COMMUNICATIONS is a unique arts and culture communications agency based out of Toronto and Montreal – we have offices in both cities. Founded in 2016 as a PR and Graphic design agency with a singular focus on the arts, B-REBEL is all about supporting arts and culture in Canada in unique and fun ways.

Arts PR is not your typical PR – it takes talented and passionate individuals who understand the arts and have a background in performance, film and music. In arts PR, you have to speak the language of artists to get results.

B-REBEL creates unique communications campaigns for each client, from grassroots performances to huge annual productions to film festivals to music. Each one is tailored specifically to the project – it takes patience, perseverance, and true passion. You’ve got to love it to promote it.

 

Current clients include but not limited to: Soulpepper Theatre, Shaw Festival, Centaur Theatre, Factory Theatre, DanceWorks, Theatre Smith-Gilmour, Theatre Centre, Film Festivals, SummerWorks Festival and more.
