This past Thursday, Tribeca-based rebellious PR firm ASTRSK celebrated their 10th anniversary with an absolute blow-out.
Media and fashion favorites flocked to Peachy's Lounge to fête the industry mainstay, which was founded by Elliot Tomaeno back in 2012 and has grown leaps and bounds since, working with clients such as Lemonade, Prime Video, Squarespace, PlayVS, Titan, Groupon, Baked By Melissa, Capital (formally Party Round), Motorsport Games, VC firms Primary Venture Partners and MaC Venture Capital as well as films like Ex Machina and the Steve Jobs film.
"All this talk of 10 years has me feeling really proud of that 27-year-old me who had no clue what he was doing when it came to business," shared Tomaeno. "It has me thinking about all the late nights in front of a laptop and missed parties (unless I was throwing it of course) but most importantly all the people. All the people that took a bet on me, that egged me on, that told me to keep pushing. Thank you for believing in a version of me I had not met yet."
Burlesque dancers, tarot card readers and dishes by Chinese Tuxedo filled the room, as guests including ASTRSK's CSO Lisa Horton, Blake Sterling, Alexander Mason Hankin, Julian Polak, Luca Mornet, Barton Cowperthwaite, Sophie Thoerner, Adam Cooperstein, Lily Wyckoff, Felicicity Sargent, Sana Rezwan, Per Erik Borja, Christian Juul Nielsen, Casper Werner, Yale Breslin, Jordan Dorso, Wes Aderhold, Jeff Perla, Alex Van Gurp, Christopher Wolf, Andre Bojanic, Xavier Andrews and more surveyed the scene.
