Narrative Communications launches Sydney office; appoints senior hire

Strategic public relations and communications agency, Narrative Communications, has officially launched a Sydney base. This comes as part of a broader growth strategy led by Principal, Lahra Carey, who will be based between Melbourne and Sydney.

Lahra said the addition of dedicated Sydney resources will enable Narrative to strengthen its presence in the Australian market.

“Opening a Sydney base is a natural next step for Narrative. We already work with clients across Australia, so having a physical presence in Sydney allows us to strengthen those relationships, attract new partnerships, and continue delivering strategic, high-impact communications support at scale,” she said.

The Sydney office will be led by newly appointed Sydney Director, Sophie Mullen, who recently relocated from London. She will work closely with both Narrative and its sister agency, NewsFlash Media, across corporate and strategic communications, reputation management, crisis advisory, and executive media training.

Sophie brings experience across corporate communications, reputation management, and issues and crisis management, spanning the technology, infrastructure and financial services sectors. Prior to joining Narrative, she held senior corporate communications roles at Deliveroo in the UK and Ireland, and advised a range of clients during her time at Hanbury Strategy and Burson.

Sophie said: "Narrative has built a strong reputation for thoughtful, strategic work with clients across Australia and opening a Sydney office reflects the next phase of that work. I’m incredibly excited to be building a team of local experts who will help our clients navigate complex communications challenges."

PRCA MENA reveals Growth Pulse Report 2026

PRCA MENA has launched the Growth Pulse Report 2026, developed in partnership with Sprint Partners and YouGov. The report surveyed 241 responses from agency and in-house leaders across 19 MENA countries, providing a snapshot of revenue trends, profitability, investment priorities, new business activity and the strategic capabilities shaping growth in 2026.
Some of the key highlights include:
  • Agency confidence is rising, with 68 per cent expecting revenue growth in 2026, up from 56 per cent who reported growth in 2025, and nearly one in five projecting gains of more than 20 per cent.
  • Cost pressure remains high, with nearly half of agencies reporting higher compensation-to-revenue ratios in 2025, which shows that staff costs are still rising faster than revenue for many firms.
  • AI investment is accelerating, with agencies planning a higher spend in 2026, especially within the $250k-$500k range. This signals a move from experimentation to scaled adoption, according to the report.
  • Social media engagement (46 per cent), Influencer marketing (42 per cent) and public relations (37 per cent) are the top three areas where in-house teams plan to run new agency pitches in 2026..
From the findings, the study recommended several key actions:
  • Build a distinctive value proposition, amplified by thought leadership
As downstream services become commoditised, agencies need to articulate a bold, clearly differentiated value proposition to stand out, backed by visible thought leadership.
  • Fuse advisory with standout creativity
AI-driven execution alone won’t differentiate agencies; the edge will come from combining original strategic advisory with distinctive creativity. This creates an opening for independent firms that can attract senior talent and move faster than large networks. The report also believed that the strongest agencies will blend sharp thinking with memorable ideas, rather than relying on strategy or creativity alone.
  • Lead AI through platforms, products and advisory services
AI needs to evolve from standalone tools into platforms, products, and advisory frameworks. Early adopters in areas such as Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) will have a first-mover advantage.
  • Make insight, data and measurement a strategic growth lever
The study said that agencies must elevate insight, data and measurement beyond reporting. Outcome-based evaluation and clear ROI measurement are becoming essential for building trust and sustaining long-term client partnerships.
  • Rethink integration through partnerships, not scale
The report also mentioned that especially for independent agencies, smart alliances and affiliate models provide a cost-efficient way to handle complex briefs without weakening culture.

Red Bull picks Middle East PR rep

Gambit Communications has been appointed Red Bull’s PR representative in the Middle East region. The account was won by Gambit Pulse, the agency’s trends division, focused on momentum, disruption, and high-impact storytelling.
 
“I can’t think of any brand in the world that pushes the limits of human endeavour the way Red Bull does," said Founder & CEO of Gambit Communications, Jamal Almawed. 

"In the past couple of months alone we’ve had the chance to support their PR efforts in the world’s biggest game of Tetris (done with Drones and the Dubai Frame!), the UAE’s first interactive LED basketball court, a ‘creators vs DJs’ football match, and a historic athlete moment where an NBA shooting coach landed a three-pointer from a helicopter into a hoop on Atlantis The Palm. It’s a privilege to tell these stories, and there is a lot more to come!”
