Recommendations

 

“Machines that run smoothly and exude happiness need the right cogs in the right place. Anna is a big, shiny, no-fuss-ever cog.

It seems I have known Anna Jacobs for at least three lifetimes, like forever. At first as a regular in the social crowd, but in the at least the last 10 years as a professional go getter, organiser and inspiration across many of my ventures.

 With my music tour promoter cap on, she controls my web and social media world. Colourfully enlightening our followers and mailing list with the latest and greatest we have to offer.

With my festival promoter cowboy hat on, she not only handles the web and social world, but in a much bigger role handles major logistical functions and event management that always makes us look good and customers feel safe and sure that suppliers and artists get what they need and get paid and everyone have a joyous time throughout the process. No job too big, no job too small. Calm and ready for a pro outcome every single time.”

“I have been working in the Australian creative arts industry since the early1990s as an artist manager, and producer. I currently work alongside Australia’s national treasure, Archie Roach AM. Over the past thirty years I have worked with many people. Some people stand out and Anna Jacobs is one such person.  

I first met Anna when she worked with the Black Arm Band, an internationally acclaimed music company and Archie was a core member.

Anna brings a high standard of professionalism to all that she undertakes. I was quick to ask her to work with me to produce shows, book national tours as well as the myriad operational and promotional aspects of Archie Roach’s business including the work undertaken by the Archie Roach Foundation.

Anna is diligent, reliable, passionate, trustworthy and focused in her approach and can navigate challenging work places and situations with integrity. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna.”
