B-Rebel PR is a leading arts and culture communications agency based in Toronto and Montreal, with a reach nationally across Canada, the US, and beyond. Since its founding in 2016, the agency has specialized in theatre, dance, film, publishing, and music, both nationally and internationally. At its core, B-Rebel PR is dedicated to supporting the arts and culture community—by artists, for artists—championing creativity in Canada, the US, and around the world.
Arts PR stands apart from traditional public relations. Success in this field requires talented, passionate individuals with a deep understanding of the arts, backed by experience in performance, film, and music. In arts PR, it's essential to speak the language of artists, ensuring authentic communication that resonates and delivers meaningful results.
At B-Rebel PR, we passionately craft dynamic communications campaigns for each client, whether it's for grassroots performances, large-scale theatre productions, film festivals, or concerts across Canada and internationally. Every campaign is uniquely tailored to the project, built on a foundation of creativity, perseverance, and our longstanding, solid relationships with entertainment media.
OUR APPROACH
At B-REBEL, our passion for the arts drives everything we do. We believe that successful arts communication comes from genuine enthusiasm for every project we undertake. That's why we only work on projects we love and respect.
