Our Story

Founded in 2009, During a Recession

DASH TWO launched in April 2009 — in the middle of a recession, on the belief that good ideas don’t wait for good timing.


Our founder, Gino Sesto, came out of the media industry with a clear read on what most agencies were getting wrong: they were too big, too slow, and too focused on themselves. He set out to build something different — leaner, more responsive, and genuinely oriented around the client.


That approach worked. What started as a small operation has grown into a full-service advertising agency with offices in Los Angeles and Nashville, working with some of the most recognizable brands in music, entertainment, fashion, tech, and beyond.

The Name

Why DASH TWO?

Gino is a pilot — and not just professionally. He instructs others in flying in his spare time. The name comes from aviation: in formation flying, the lead plane is called “dash one.” The plane flying close behind, providing support and staying in sync, is “dash two.”

That’s exactly how we think about client relationships. You fly the lead plane. We stay tight, match your heading, and make sure you get where you’re going.

How We Work

Small Team. Senior Attention.

AGILE BY DESIGN

We’re a small, intentionally lean team. That means faster decisions, direct communication, and no layers of account managers between you and the people actually doing the work.

NO LONG-TERM LOCK-IN

We work on a project basis or as an ongoing partner — whichever makes sense for your goals. We don’t keep clients through contracts. We keep them through results.

STRAIGHT TALK

No jargon, no inflated reports, no bureaucratic overhead. We tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re doing about it. Clear and direct, every time.

What We Do

Full-Service Advertising

We specialize in digital and out-of-home advertising — two channels that work exceptionally well together. We also run TV, radio, and print campaigns, and offer creative services for clients who need help bringing ideas to life.

Social, SEM, programmatic, video, audio, and retargeting — data-driven buying across every major digital channel.

Wild Posting®, billboards, murals, street furniture, and experiential — campaigns that stop people in their tracks.

National, local, and connected TV placements — reaching audiences across every screen in the house.

Broadcast and streaming audio advertising that puts your message in front of the right ears at the right moment.

Magazine, newspaper, and trade publication advertising with the lasting impact only print can deliver.

Who We've Worked With

Our Clients

Our roots are in music — Gino’s background gave us deep connections across the industry, and those relationships have only grown. We’ve run campaigns for Live Nation, Universal Music Group, and Interscope Records, and for artists including Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, and DJ Khaled.

Beyond music, we work with universities, entertainment companies, fashion brands, and consumer tech — including Loyola Marymount University and the American Film Institute.

Our work has been recognized with OBIE Awards from the Out of Home Advertising Association of America.

The People

Meet the Team

DASH TWO is built around people who take the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously. Our team spans media buying, strategy, creative, and account management — and everyone here has worked on campaigns that had to actually perform.

 

We’ve grown deliberately. Every person we bring on has to raise the level of what we deliver to clients. That’s how we’ve stayed lean and kept quality high for over 15 years.

"You pilot the lead plane. We fly DASH TWO — close behind, in sync, and always in your corner."
— Gino Sesto, Founder, DASH TWO
