About

I’m Andrew Hawkins, an Australian entrepreneur, marketing and brand strategist, talent manager, and music executive with two decades of international experience across Sydney, London, and Los Angeles. In 2007, I built a private investment and talent management business that became the engine for a fifteen-year partnership with Australian broadcaster Kyle Sandilands — spanning radio, television, books, and brand endorsements.

Today I’m based in Brisbane, consulting across industries, managing a portfolio of investments, and building multiple brands. Highlights include licensing the KIIS FM brand from Clear Channel in the KIIS 1065 launch, growing H2coco from seed to over $35M turnover and leading its exit, and developing Young & Vicious into a 10B+ streams publishing venture.
