SYDNEY, AUS
05:39 [EST]Finding the right agency can be a headache. Endless options, unclear proposals, and pitches that don’t always deliver. It’s hard to know who to trust or where to start, and too easy to waste time (and budget) on the wrong fit.
That’s where we come in. We help you find agencies that actually align with your goals, your budget, and your way of working. And when you need talent, we help build the team to deliver it. We brief clearly, filter fast, and stay close through the process. From shortlisting to pitching to ongoing check-ins – so you can move forward with confidence.
Pitching for new work can be a grind. Unclear briefs, shifting budgets, tight turnarounds, and clients who don’t always know what they want. You put time, energy, and creativity on the line, often without knowing if it’ll land. Hustle helps connect agencies to their ideal clients, helping accelerate the growth of the top independent agencies.
Finding the right people is just as tough. Teams are stretched, timelines are tight, and you need talent who can deliver from day one. The best candidates aren’t always looking, and when they are, they move fast.
We open doors to fast-growing brands and we don’t just throw you into a room, we give you a fair shot. That means clear briefs, budget visibility, and guidance on what clients expect. We’ll help sharpen your pitch, follow up with client feedback, and stay close to make sure the relationship works over the long run.
We can also help you find people who are experienced, reliable, and ready to hit the ground running. From creatives and strategists to producers and account leads, we put forward a considered shortlist and stay close to make sure things click long after they start.
Finding the right role should be exciting, but too often it’s time-consuming, full of unclear job descriptions and opportunities that don’t quite fit. You know what you’re capable of; you just need the right place to do your best work.
We put you in front of agencies and brands who value fresh thinking and genuine talent. From refining your CV and preparing for interviews to offering feedback and guidance along the way, we’re with you at every step. We connect you with opportunities that match your ambition and make sure it’s everything it should be: challenging, rewarding and built to last.
With decades of experience across both agency and client-side, Ed knows exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes. He’s seen the risk that comes with choosing the wrong agency, felt the pressure to know exactly what the brief is, and faced the challenge of the pitch.
Those experiences gave him an inside view of how and why partnerships succeed, and just as often, why they don’t.
Over the years, Ed has built a trusted team and a deep network of Australia’s most dynamic independent agencies. He’s sat on both sides of the table, seen what great collaboration looks like, and knows how to bridge the gap between creative vision and commercial results.
Along the way, he’s also built something valuable: a black book of standout talent. The kind of people who quietly power the industry, who deliver, and who are always in demand. Ed knows where they are, how they work, and when they’re ready to make a move.
