MORE WOMEN AT ARRIVAL!
“Arrival strives for an equal amount of female identifying and male identifying employees and I’m proud to say we are currently 60% female to 40% male. Although we have a long way to go, Arrival has made great strides, and no single administration is going to stop this progress.”

BENITO LOVES ROYEL OTIS; MT. JOY SELLS OUT MSG!
“I might have to say seeing Royel Otis at Brooklyn Steel watching Bad Bunny sing all the words to their songs was pretty fabulous. Watching Mt. Joy crushing a sold-out Madison Square Garden wasn’t so bad either.”
Profit-Sharing For Entire Agency!

Profit-Sharing For Entire Agency!
“I’m also very proud that we are the only agency that I know of that has a profit share for all non- agents at the company. This encourages the company to work together and collaborate rather than compete.”

WALKING WALK/TALKING TALK!
“I’m proud of how we’ve been able to work in-house to coordinate charity initiatives into our artists’ tours to benefit such amazing organizations like Peer Solutions, Backline, MusiCares, ACLU, Union of Concerned Scientists and more.”

WOMEN-LED TEAMS ROCK!
“There is nothing more satisfying than working with a team of women that include the artist, agent, manager, coordinator, and promoter. It doesn’t happen enough, and we need more females in all these roles.”
