1973 Records

1973 Records is a media and music agency founded in 2021 by Jamie-Lee Dimes, operating with a unique dual-hemisphere presence in Joshua Tree, United States, and Brisbane, Australia. Rather than positioning itself as a conventional PR firm, 1973 Records brings a sociology and media lens to public relations, communications, and creative storytelling. The agency’s name evokes a sense of rebellion, wanderlust, and self-discovery—themes that permeate its approach to helping brands, artists, and labels craft authentic narratives. Based in Joshua Tree, California, 1973 Records merges entertainment and business studies with a sociological perspective, drawing on Dimes’ academic background in sociology and public relations from Griffith University.

Sociology-Driven Storytelling and Creative Direction

What sets 1973 Records apart is its foundation in sociology, which informs how it approaches public relations and communications. The agency’s work is built around bridging gaps, breaking down barriers, and reimagining social constructs related to gender, sexuality, and women’s liberation. This perspective allows 1973 Records to develop campaigns and narratives that resonate on a deeper cultural level, appealing to audiences seeking authenticity and inclusivity. The agency applies this lens to everything from branding and strategic communication to music and event production, ensuring that each project tells a story that challenges norms and fosters connection. For clients in the United States and beyond, this means PR efforts that go beyond traditional media relations to spark conversations about identity and freedom.
