The agency
One team for the story, the strategy and the technology
AONE Creative is a creative, marketing and AI agency founded by Darrick Angelone in 2007. We have marketed studio releases, cofounded a get-out-the-vote platform, distributed a five-time Webby-winning series and booked tours from Sydney to Toronto.
The same team shapes the story, plans the media and builds the platform, so nothing is lost between an agency and a dev shop. Darrick leads strategy on every engagement, and we work remotely with clients across the US.

Where we started
From the stage to the screen
AONE started in live music. Darrick founded Angelone Management in 2001 while touring as Kool Keith’s DJ, and went on to book talent including Naughty by Nature, KRS-One, Lil Wayne and Ciara, with shows in Australia, Asia, Europe and North America.
We organized the talent for every show on this list and marketed many of them, and at the Kool Keith dates Darrick was often on stage as DJ or hype man. Selling out a date that won’t move is still how we approach every launch.
