Honoree

Hustle&Co. has spent the past year quietly reshaping its footprint across music, film, and culture through rapid growth paired with hands-on execution. In under eight months, the agency doubled both its client roster and internal team while increasing revenue by more than 35%, reinforcing its position in music innovation communications and expanding meaningfully into film and television with the signing of American High, the studio led by Jeremy Garelick. Alongside commercial growth, Hustle&Co. committed real resources to impact driven work by joining the LA Strong Comms Coalition, providing pro bono communications for small businesses affected by the LA wildfires and leading communications for A Concert for Altadena, a benefit organized by Dawes to support the Altadena Builds Back Foundation with proceeds aiding long-term recovery efforts. On the client front, the agency secured major wins including Bandsintown, Bandcamp, Genius, Arena One, and Warner Music Experience. A standout case study was Hustle&Co.’s work on the Oasis Live 25 Reunion, leading communications for four North American fan merch store launches across Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and Chicago, generating dominant national, regional, and broadcast coverage and resulting in an expanded ongoing partnership with Warner Music Experience.
