A S H T O N    L U N C E F O R D    Co-Founder / Partner

Originally from South Carolina, Ashton prides herself in her eye for fresh and creative publicity. After a stint as both an actress and musician, she turned her focus to studying journalism and public relations at California State University, Northridge. During that time she began assisting her now partner Mia at Aquarius PR. It was there that she discovered her love for personal publicity and after graduating Cum Laude from CSUN, she began to grow her own roster of talent. She represents film and television actors, both up-and-coming and established, as well as blossoming musicians.
