Kabuku PR is the publicity partner for Festival UnWrapped presented by the Sydney Opera House – a bi-annual celebration of diverse, new and risk-taking works from contemporary performance makers.

Utilising the unique story angles from each of the shows in the program, Kabuku devises a strategic approach to generate wide spread publicity and assist in driving ticket sales.

Coverage highlights for the Festival have included ABC TV News 24 Breakfast, The Australian Financial Review, The Guardian, The Sun-Herald, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Telegraph, ABC Radio National, ABC Radio Sydney, ABC News Digital, The Music and Star Observer.

For eight consecutive years, Kabuku PR has been the publicity partner for one of the nation’s largest annual comedy events, the Sydney Comedy Festival.

Working closely with the Festival’s lineup of comedians, talent publicists and promoters, Kabuku PR works tirelessly to promote the Festival on both a local and national level and assists in driving an attendance of over 130,000 people per year.

As publicist for the Festival, Kabuku PR has coordinated hundreds of media interviews, countless photo shoots, show reviews, VIP opening nights, video content for in-flight systems and much more. The Festival has experienced audience growth year-on-year since their relationship commenced with the Kabuku team.

Kabuku PR was engaged to manage the publicity for Maestro Andrea Bocelli’s most recent tour of Australia and New Zealand. As national publicist across both countries, Kabuku negotiated media partnerships for the tour, coordinated exclusive tour announcements, interviews and promotions across the entire tour.

In the lead up to the tour, Kabuku PR negotiated a long form interview with the artist and his family in his home in Tuscany, which appeared on Sunday Night broadcast nationally on the Seven Network, and arranged syndication of the program to a New Zealand audience.

During the tour, the Kabuku PR team travelled alongside the artist and managed all media commitments, including photo calls, interviews, media accreditation, tour photography, artist meet-and-greets, and backstage interviews with both Andrea Bocelli and special guest artist, Delta Goodrem.

The coverage for the tour was widespread across television, radio, print and online media, and the tour attracted an audience of over 100,000 people.

Kabuku PR has been engaged as Publicists for the Spiegeltent Wollongong Season since 2017, working alongside Merrigong Theatre Company and Strut & Fret Production House.

Headlined by the internationally acclaimed show, Velvet, starring Marcia Hines, the program included a line-up of 54 world-class comedy, music, circus and cabaret performances.

Hosting media calls, interviews, pitching competitions, and supporting key media partners, Kabuku PR achieved a huge amount of media coverage for the season and specific acts across Wollongong newspapers, radio, television and online.

Since 2010, Kabuku PR has been the ongoing publicity partner for Sydney Underground Film Festival (SUFF), a festival dedicated to promoting alternative and underground film, and nurturing young filmmaking talent.

The SUFF audience are drawn to the Festival for its willingness to screen films outside the norm and push the boundaries with content. They are not avid consumers of mainstream media, preferring to receive their news from independent media sources and social media.

Kabuku PR devises strategies to target these audiences, and gain media attention by stirring up controversy. We generate news around the content of the festival and pique interest in its alternative, indie-film going audience.

The SUFF team have seen a large increase in audiences year-on-year, as well as extensive media coverage both nationally and internationally for the Festival.

Kabuku PR is the retained publicity consultancy for Western Sydney’s premier performing arts centre, Riverside Theatres. In addition, Kabuku PR also partners with Riverside’s resident theatre company, the National Theatre of Parramatta.

Alongside the Riverside marketing team, Kabuku PR devises a strategic approach to publicise a wide cross section of activity throughout the year including performances, special events, festivals and industry news.

With over 1,000 performances throughout the year, Riverside Theatres is both a vibrant creative hub in Western Sydney and one of the busiest venues in the nation.
