“Working with ABPR has been nothing short of transformative for PAST. Anneke’s passion and dedication have elevated our experience, as her genuine commitment to amplifying our voice and her belief in the importance of our mission have made a profound impact on our organisation. ABPR’s team has not only refined their strategic approach but also worked seamlessly alongside us, co-creating a vision that has meaningfully boosted our presence in both local and international media. Their skill in translating complex stories in palaeoscience into compelling narratives has helped us reach diverse audiences, positioning PAST as a trusted voice in the field. The professionalism, responsiveness, and care ABPR brings to understanding the nuances of our work have been invaluable, resulting in a notable increase in public awareness and engagement. This growth has been essential for expanding our reach and impact, and we couldn’t be more grateful for ABPR’s exceptional service and partnership.”

Moegsien Hendricks, Former Executive Director of DAG

“As the newly appointed Executive Director of DAG, I met Anneke in my first communication team meeting in April of 2024. I was impressed that DAG had a dedicated communications team. Anneke contributed to elevating communications from a part-time reactive activity, to one that is aimed at reflecting DAG’s key strategic foci and project outcomes. Her experience and her value-add was instrumental in DAG’s communication outputs for 2024. Anneke is a great team player and even though she’s not a DAG staff member, she was very sensitive to both DAG’s reputation and our internal protocols and procedures. She was also responsible for mentoring DAG’s young communications project officer, and this was done in a very nurturing and sensitive manner. It was a pleasure to collaborate with her and I highly recommend the use of her skills as a communication advisor / expert.”
