11th & Co., the first Black women-led, full-service artist management firm, celebrated a significant milestone by unveiling its official headquarters at 550 RMG in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward, hosting a vibrant grand opening to mark the beginning of the firm’s next chapter. The celebration hosted Atlanta’s prominent figures in entertainment, media, and tech. Guests enjoyed interactive experiences like the 11th & Co. merch display, board games, a custom 550 RMG photo op, a branded 11th & Co. food truck catered by Bowls, Wings & Things, and a special ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Solely owned by 11th & Co’s Chairwoman and CEO, Ebonie Ward, 550 RMGis the new home and creative headquarters for Black-owned businesses, including Six Degrees (Atlanta-based creative agency), Genius Club (full-service production company), and 11th & Co’s non-profit initiative, A Seat At The Table, as well as its upcoming distribution company, Nine Distribution, launching September 2025.  Designed and curated by Atlanta’s renowned interior designer Annysa LaMantia, the 10,000-square-foot multi-use creative space features a range of amenities, including a private recording studio and suite, editing and production bay, private conference rooms, an open kitchen with upgraded appliances, an open patio, and a wardrobe showroom.

The grand opening of 550 RMG is a testament to 11th & Co.’s mission to cultivate a collaborative space for Black entrepreneurs and creatives. Ward’s newest venture underscores the significance of sustaining Black-owned businesses, especially in today’s economic landscape where equitable opportunities remain a challenge. By creating a dedicated headquarters for Black creatives and entrepreneurs, it not only fosters community collaboration but also reinforces the importance of economic empowerment and cultural representation.

“This is a new chapter and a new beginning for us,” Ward said during the ribbon cutting ceremony. “I want to thank everyone for being here and everybody for supporting us along our journey. It’s definitely been a time, but it’s only the beginning because with us it never stops.”
