Back in September of 2013, we made one of the scariest, most intimidating and ultimately rewarding experience of our lives in deciding to venture out on our own to start 24West. Since that time we've had the honor and privilege of working with over 120 artists, thrown countless events and forged friendships that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There have been ups and downs, trials and tribulations and we've learned invaluable lessons that have played a huge part in forming who we are both personally and professionally.
As of Monday, May 1st, 24West will be closing up shop in order to embark on an exciting new journey. We have been acquired by NGAGE Sports and Entertainment and will be forming a marketing agency within the agency called ngagency to work on their amazing roster, as well as, continuing to work with the bands and labels we currently have the pleasure of helping out. The breadth of experience and the quality of character of each and every member of the NGAGE team has reinvigorated us and reminded us of what we set out to accomplish with 24West. We couldn't be more excited to join their team and expand our efforts to helping not only artists, but social media influencers and professional athletes.
We would like to thank every label, manager and artist that took a chance on working with us over the past three-and-a-half years. You've challenged us to become our best selves and we hope we validated that risk by always living up to or exceeding your expectations. We'd like to also thank the team at NGAGE for bringing us onboard and giving us the opportunity to create something special with you. Most importantly we'd like to thank our friends and family for putting up with us throughout the craziness (and probably moodiness) that came with running our own company.
We have a very clear vision of what a marketing agency should look like in 2017. Now in partnership with the team at NGAGE we will have the tools and resources we need to bring that vision to fruition.
They say love what you do and never work a day in your life. We'd adjust that slightly. In our opinions it should read "Love WHO you work with and never work a day in your life". We love everyone that we've had the honor of working with during 24West's time and we look forward to continuing to grow and prosper with all of you as ngagency.
With love and gratitude,
Rich and Theresa
