Arts marketing for creatives, by creatives

Cup of Ambition champions projects that are big in aspiration: from fringe theatre to main stages and everything in between. We offer affordable marketing support to theatres, companies and artists across the UK.

“A tour-de-force duo with an abundance of experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any creatives out there.”
Ellie Simpson - Head of Theatre, Pleasance Theatre

“I worked with Cup of Ambition on Punchdrunk’s the Burnt City. 


At turns dynamic, imaginative, tenacious and ruthlessly efficient, they got to grips with a complex project in record time - deftly juggling internal and external stakeholders with patience, flexibility and delivering first class results. They’re a joy to work with and melded effortlessly into our team culture.


Would I work with them again? In heartbeat.

– Stephen Patry-Makin - Producer, Punchdrunk
