About

Amanda Malpass PR began in February 2010 to provide bespoke, creative and effective media campaigns within the performing arts. The company's energy, focus and passion were key to their commitment to the client, with all members of the team involved in the day-to-day press management of all their clients' productions. In 2022, Amanda decided to downsize, with her team and many of her former clients moving to Buchanan PR. Amanda now acts as a freelance publicist and PR consultant.
