British creative, marketing and digital agency Blackstar London, whose founder Olivia Hobbs spoke at our Sandbox Summit conference last autumn, is expanding. The company is opening an office in Los Angeles, and has hired three new staff, one of whom will be based out in LA.
“The expansion of the team and company is as vital as it is exciting. We’ve welcomed so many more acts & labels to the roster in the last 12 months. Having an arm in LA helps us bridge time-zones and broaden global growth possibilities for our clients,” said Hobbs in a statement. A sign of the times, perhaps, with artists and labels requiring their digital agencies to be able to provide round-the-clock support for fast-moving campaigns.
