Elevating the Entertainment Experience – Hollywood Boulevard Concert

In the heart of the entertainment capital, Los Angeles, EKA specializes in expediting concerts and special event permits, transforming ordinary spaces into legendary venues. By navigating the complex web of regulations, we excel at cutting through the red tape to bring groundbreaking events to life. EKA seamlessly coordinates the entire process, at venues ranging from Union Station to renowned streets, warehouses, and parks, ensuring attention to every detail.

In October 2023, EKA helped make music history by orchestrating the closure of the iconic Hollywood Boulevard between Vine Street and Cahuenga Avenue. Playing host to global artists Fisher and Chris Lake, the event drew a staggering crowd of 12,000 people. This monumental feat resulted from meticulous planning, permitting, and extensive community outreach.

In March 2025, EKA managed the closure of Hollywood Boulevard yet again, this time with global artist Michael Bibi. This event mirrored the success of the first, received international attention, and raised thousands of dollars for LA Wildfire Relief.

EKA’s role extended far beyond permit acquisition. We managed all aspects, from fire and police coordination to ABC licensing, noise ordinances, building and safety compliance, street closures, and traffic control. Leveraging our extensive Los Angeles network, we conducted proactive outreach to neighbors, business improvement districts, homeowner associations, and Council Offices, ensuring a harmonious event environment.

The Hollywood Boulevard concerts receive praise for its dedication to safety, thorough planning, and flawless execution. Post-event feedback from local business owners and concert-goers alike affirmed that this night stood out as one of the best in their lives. Our unwavering dedication to excellence garnered recognition from key stakeholders from the Los Angeles Fire Department, LAPD, local business organizations, and governmental authorities.

EKA’s expertise in concert and special event permit expediting ensures that every occasion is not just an event but an unforgettable experience. Our ability to seamlessly blend regulatory compliance with creativity sets the stage for groundbreaking moments that resonate with the city’s vibrant entertainment culture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title color=”#000000″ size=”20″ font_weight=”bold” txt_transform=”uppercase” margin_bottom=”30″ font_family=”Montserrat” font_type=”google” align=”center”]CONTACT EKA NOW[/mk_fancy_title]

That ADDA no longer exists.  In 2015, new leadership decided best representation for members required not just labor representation, but a voice in the public debate over the future of the criminal justice system.  The ADDA hired EKA to help craft this new direction and working together with EKA a dramatic makeover occurred. Today’s ADDA is a robust, energetic and influential force that’s committed both to promoting the interests of its membership and to effecting meaningful change in the pursuit of justice and public safety.

In addition to growing its membership, the ADDA has become one of the preeminent voices in California for public safety and victims’ rights. Along the way, they have become the credible voice which has shed light on aspects of recent public safety “reforms” “which their proponents would rather remain in the dark.

The primary platform has been their popular blog, which has put the ADDA on the political map. With the guidance from EKA, the ADDA has thrust important issues into the public consciousness, become a go-to organization for the media reporting on public safety matters, and their blogs are closely read by key decision makers throughout the state.

While the primary goal of the ADDA is to advance a work environment that allows their members to focus on their role as the primary guardians of justice in the courts, the organization is interested in all aspects of public safety. With the assistance of EKA, the ADDA has chosen to focus their limited resources on certain core concerns. Most prominently, the ADDA has very publicly exposed the flaws, misleading claims and injustices of, initiatives and legislation which have reshaped the criminal justice system.

For example, although  proponents told voters only “non-violent” felons would be released by Prop 57, the ADDA introduced to their large audience to some of the ”violent” felons who have been released under Prop. 57. Those released early under Prop 57’s auspices include inmates convicted of incredibly violent crimes including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and battery.

While education is an important part of their mission, the ADDA is equally concerned with achieving results and forging meaningful change. Toward that end, when the ADDA told EKA that they wanted to become arly and prominent promoters of a concerted effort to roll back some of the damage caused by Prop. 57 and it’s equally delinquent cousins, Prop. 47 and AB 109, EKA assisted the ADDA.

EKA has assisted the ADDA in promoting other causes not just through blogs, but on social media and traditional media. Today, the ADDA leadership team are regular guests on high-profile programs such radio and television programs and are often asked to represent law enforcement/prosecutors at local and national debate forums discussing criminal justice changes.

While the ADDA has accomplished a lot in a short period of time, the reality is their work will never be done. Past changes and proposed changes to the criminal justice system– such as bail reform –have real effects and demand that they speak out..

Understanding that members are critical to their continued success, the makeover EKA implemented has invigorated rank and file DDAs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title color=”#000000″ size=”16″ force_font_size=”true” size_smallscreen=”16″ size_tablet=”12″ size_phone=”12″ font_weight=”bold” txt_transform=”uppercase” letter_spacing=”2″ font_family=”Montserrat” font_type=”google” responsive_align=”left”]CONTACT EKA NOW[/mk_fancy_title]

For several years, EKA’s Eric Rose lead the account team that worked for Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), promoting the airport through an aggressive public relations program that targeted the community, elected officials, the media and industry analysts.

This strategy involved a multi-faceted media relations program and several special projects, including the promotion of Los Angeles World Airports 75th anniversary. The efforts marking the celebration included a 75th anniversary press kit and targeted outreach to key print, broadcast and online media. Eric has also worked with the airport to increase its standing within the industry and promoting its commitment to delivering quality service and dedication to the local market.

 

The efforts on behalf of LAWA included strategic planning, community and minority relations, development of collateral materials, advertising and media placement. Most notably, Eric designed and implemented an initiative to heighten awareness of the airport among Hispanic, African American and other minority businesses.
