Hedley Thomas - Investigative journalist for The Australian & creator of podcasts including The Teacher’s Pet
Anna Zakaras held my hand and helped lead me through dozens of interviews at a time of intense Australian and global interest after wife killer Chris Dawson’s murder in 2022.
Anna remained a calm, tactical, good humoured and highly organised professional throughout - and in all our other engagements arising from my true crime podcasts.
I look forward to working with Anna again.

I have know Anna for the past few years since she bought their house through my agency. She’s savvy, driven, connected and authentic- I have no doubt she’ll thrive in her new PR venture and I reccomend her as a trustworthy and valuable contact.

It was a pleasure to work with Anna both as a colleague and as a client. Her attention to detail and creativity in communicating often complex messaging was an inspiration to me and her enthusiasm for telling brand stories was infectious.
She has strong communication skills on all platforms and is well-versed in current media and communications strategies.
