Content that sells. Ads that scale.

Your music deserves a real rollout.

Video, photo and social content from Austin, plus the Meta, TikTok and YouTube ads that put it in front of buyers. One team from first idea to ad account.

Music videos, visuals and release content, then paid ads that turn a drop into streams, followers and ticket sales. Made by an artist, for artists.

Paid ads, run by the people who made them

Most agencies hand your creative to a separate media buyer. We make the ads and run them, so every test feeds the next shoot.

Great songs die quietly without a push. We make the clips and run the ads, so your budget reaches fans who will actually listen.

How we test creative
24 live

We launch many hooks at once, cut what doesn't work, and move budget to the winners.

Your brand isn't our portfolio

You won't find a client gallery here. The content we make for you exists to grow your business, not to advertise ours.

01

No showcasing without a yes

We never post your content, name your brand or share results to promote Hussle Media unless you ask us to.

02

You own the final files

Every final deliverable is yours to keep, post, edit and run as ads, for as long as you want.

03

Your ad accounts stay yours

We work inside accounts you own. If we ever part ways, you keep every campaign, audience and pixel.

04

References, on your call

Want to see what we've made? On a discovery call we'll point you to live work on past clients' own channels, only where they're happy for us to.

Founder

Layne LaValley

I'm a creative director, editor, photographer and paid media buyer based in Austin. I've managed seven figures in Meta ad spend for my own brands and for clients, and I run TikTok and YouTube campaigns too. Before Hussle Media, I ran creative for a fitness brand spending over $100k a month on ads, where every piece of content had to earn its spot.

So the person shooting your content also knows exactly what it has to do once it's in an ad account.

I'm also a recording artist, performing as Layne LV. I know what it feels like to drop a song you believe in and watch it go nowhere. Hussle Media is how I make sure that doesn't happen to you.
