Andrea Noble

Marketing & Community Outreach Coordinator, The Port Theatre Society

Andrea Noble is the Marketing & Community Outreach Coordinator at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo, BC on the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. In her role for over 7 years, she’s achieved recognition for record ticket sales and helping grow the Spotlight Series; launching and developing the Discovery Series brand; securing sponsorships; and building new audiences through community outreach. Andrea’s extremely passionate about finding creative ways to get people into the theatre, advocating for inclusiveness, identifying barriers and collaborating with the team to find solutions. Andrea’s a risk taker, single Mom, and powerful speaker determined to talk openly about difficult subject matter, awaken others, and heal collectively through humour and the arts.

Andrea’s very privileged to work with a variety of indigenous people, elders, organizations, and artists in the community. Her thoughtful, intelligent, and intuitive approach, combined with the efforts of the entire team at the Port Theatre, resulted in the presentation of two very special indigenous performances: the Spotlight show xwi’xwi’em featuring Ay Lelum – the Good House of Design and the Discovery show, Scenes from the Nanaimo Indian Hospital. Being part of these performances were highlights of her career.

Prior to the Port Theatre, Andrea ran her own consulting business with a focus on branding and copywriting. She was the Communications Director for Pain BC, led the national rebrand campaign for TuGo travel insurance, and taught business communications at BCIT. She grew up in West Vancouver, graduated from UBC with an honour’s degree in Creative Writing, and was a founding member of the UBC Improv club. She’s worked in special events and the arts for the Ferry Building Gallery, District of West Vancouver, West Vancouver Memorial Library, City of Burnaby, City of Richmond, and District of North Vancouver. She’s incredibly grateful for her son Nolan, her family, and everyone who supports them along their journey.

    EleeHub was founded in 2021 to address a critical gap in the nonprofit marketing domain. It became evident that most nonprofits could be categorized into three groups: those unaware of the Google Ad Grant, those who had attempted to utilize it but were deterred by its complexity, and those engaged with costly consultants yielding minimal or expensive outcomes. EleeHub emerged as a beacon for small to mid-sized nonprofits seeking an efficient, cost-effective, and impactful marketing strategy.

    As a certified Google Partner, EleeHub champions the belief that all nonprofits should fully utilize the Google Ad Grant, with professional assistance, to optimize their outcomes. The EleeHub team brings together over thirty years of collective expertise in nonprofit marketing and Google Ads, positioning itself as a leading force in the sector.  https://www.eleehub.com/
