we are a family both internally and externally. our clients are extensions of ourselves and everything that they put out into the world is an extension of our own work, so we work tirelessly to express brands in the way they want to be expressed. individuality, honesty, empathy and integrity are at the heart of our business and we plan to live a long and fruitful life with family and friends who trust and enjoy working with us.
Rob Schwenker has made a career out of discovery and determination. He brings the expertise of 14 years in media, having run a news organization in the world’s second largest media market. In 2016 Rob co-founded 6th Street Communications and has worked to bring to life the stories of entrepreneurs, professional specialists, public servants and dreamers of all stripes. If there’s something you do that’s special, perhaps even under appreciated, he excels at discovering it and finding innovative ways to amplify it.
He’s a writer of words spoken and read, has a deep understanding of the diverse media landscape and knows how to position you in it, excels at planning and curating content that fits your brand, and can guide you through the complex space of digital advertising.
Rob has been in business and non-profit leadership for more than a decade. Having chaired several non-profit boards and having served as President of several non-profit service organizations in his home community of Santa Monica. Rob understands the importance of private sector accomplishments for public good, public/private partnerships and the challenges inherent in accomplishing the mission of lifting up the underserved. As a business owner and administrator he’s also acutely aware of the challenges faced by his clients as they balance day to day administrative responsibilities with the vital work of mission based organizational stewardship that fosters sustained growth.
Rob is a public policy and civics nerd, news junkie with no intention of entering recovery, voracious consumer of podcasts, fitness enthusiast, and avid sports fan.
As the creative lead for Sixth Street, Josh has had a robust background in design, giving him a foundation to deliver a clear strategy with sometimes (ok, many times) ridiculous ideas. Josh has been a jack-of-all-arts for many years. He believes that an eclectic background brings eclectic ideas. He is driven by projects that inspire him and loves the ability to work on things he’s both deeply knowledgeable in alongside those that terrify him the most.
Over the last 15 years, Josh has let inspiration lead him. He’s done Shakespeare in the park and Voiceover for brands like Enterprise, HP and Lennox. He was the Artistic Director of a theater company for over 10 years and created an innovative pet brand that sold through shops like Petco. He has worked in the media landscape through work in the newspaper industry (where he met Rob) and gutted a 70s RV and rebuilt from scratch. He’s built websites for corporations to entrepreneurs, made money and lost it, but always with the same goal, tell stories, be honest and follow your dreams.
Similar to Rob, he has a deep love of Los Angeles sports. This comes in somewhere close to his love of his dog, Jaxon, (his favorite video of him can be seen here), and his wife…the order of which is unimportant.
