Urban Narrative

The chief narrator at Urban Narrative is Karen Anning.  Karen chose to go out on her own after identifying a market opportunity in the Brisbane communication consulting space and has never looked back.  

While most businesses need the support of a trusted senior communicator, some aren't in the position to employ someone with these skills in-house and they don't want to engage a big consulting firm. They want a trusted senior advisor who can step in and out of their business quickly and easily.

Through Urban Narrative, Karen steps in on short notice to help clients with their immediate communication needs, whether high-level strategy or on-the-ground tactical execution. She helps them share their stories with their stakeholders.

Karen brings to the table, two decades of experience with prominent Australian private and publicly listed ASX companies, government agencies, government owned corporations and communication consulting businesses.  

Having worked on both sides of the fence, she understands client expectations and what needs to be done to meet, and exceed, them.

As a trusted adviser to some of the country’s leading commercial enterprises, Karen has provided marketing and communication consulting services to companies such as:

• QSuper

• QInsure

• Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC)

• Tabcorp

• Allianz Global Assistance

• ERM Business Energy

• Tatts Group

• Teys Australia

• Flynn Property Group

Before Urban Narrative, Karen spent 10 years heading up the PR department at Tatts Group's Golden Casket, as well as holding PR and marketing roles with Dreamworld and national communication consulting firms.
