Holy Moly Artists launches SUBCULTURE?, an independent creative agency catering for emerging artists and their respective management teams, TMN can exclusively reveal.

Based in Sydney, the new enterprise is here to help across publicity, social media management, design, public relations, creative direction and tailored packages.

Its mission: to “cultivate an agency” where the “uniqueness of their artist’s niches are brought to the forefront,” reads a statement.

SUBCULTURE? is the brainchild of Ashley Cooper, Holy Moly’s creative director, specialising in marketing, design and consultancy; alongside the brand’s owner and managing director Jonny Blackwell.

“I’m really passionate about the strength of an artist’s creative vision for their project, because we live in such a world of seeing before hearing,” comments Blackwell, who currently manages KILTER, Lawson Hull and Big Skeez, and has worked with the likes of 1300, Somber Hills, Raj Mahal and White Blanks.
