Honoree

Agency Esta has quickly become one of New York’s most compelling emerging communications firms, defined by its kaleidoscopic storytelling approach and a year of sharp expansion across disciplines. Since its founding in 2021, the agency has grown with clear intention, scaling from three to nine employees and bringing in senior specialists across design, arts and culture, hospitality, fine beverage and real estate. This cross-sector expertise has fueled inventive thinking and more textured narratives, resulting in measurable commercial impact for clients. In real estate, the agency continues to lead category defining work, driving high visibility press and direct sales outcomes for marquee developments such as THE74 and 200 East 20th Street, where its team conceived and executed Garden’s Edge, an arts-driven activation that generated design, culture and real estate coverage while increasing showings and transactions. Esta has reshaped neighborhood perception for projects like 499 President in Gowanus by reframing the area’s narrative around environmental stewardship through the Gowanus Canal Conservancy. Beyond property, the agency has delivered major momentum for Klocke Estate Distillery, securing Bloomberg Pursuits, Esquire Spirits Awards recognition and a collaboration with celebrated sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier. Complemented by pro bono work with the Wassaic Project and the development of proprietary AI tools, Agency Esta has more than doubled annual revenue while expanding into social media management and art curation, solidifying its position as a holistic, future-facing communications partner.
