At just 23 years old, Dylan Toole, founder of DMT Records, LLC, has built a 6-figure marketing and PR agency that’s setting the standard for success in the music, business, and entertainment industries. Based in Buffalo, NY, DMT Records has not only become a leader in its field but also a trusted white-label vendor for marketing agencies across the country.
From College Dropout to Entrepreneur
Dylan’s journey began with a bold decision: to leave college and follow his passion for creating opportunities for others. “I didn’t have everything figured out, but I knew I wanted to build something meaningful,” Dylan shares.
In 2020, Dylan launched DMT Records with little more than an idea and determination. The early days weren’t easy—the company operated on razor-thin margins as Dylan reinvested every dollar back into the business. “Those first few years were tough, and to this day everything isn’t sunshine and rainbows at all times,” Dylan admits. “But it’s taught us how to focus on what matters most: delivering results for our clients.”
Building a Team That Drives Success
A key to DMT Records’ growth has been the strength of its team, including Gage Poler, who works at the agency and has played a vital role in its success. “Gage has been instrumental in helping us scale and refine our services,” Dylan says. “His dedication and expertise have made a huge impact on our ability to deliver for our clients.”
With Gage’s contributions and Dylan’s leadership, DMT Records developed a scalable, results-driven business model that caters to both direct clients and partner agencies.
The White-Label Advantage
One of the unique aspects of DMT Records is its role as a white-label vendor for marketing agencies across the U.S. By providing behind-the-scenes expertise in areas like social media strategy, public relations, and digital advertising, DMT Records helps other agencies expand their offerings without additional overhead.
“Our white-label services have been a game-changer,” Dylan explains. “We’re proud to be the backbone for so many agencies, helping them deliver exceptional results to their clients.”
Beyond Music Promotion
While DMT Records started with a focus on music promotion, it has grown into a full-service marketing and PR agency with offerings that span multiple industries. These include:
- Public Relations: Securing features in major outlets like USA Today, Forbes, and more.
- Social Media Campaigns: Crafting high-impact strategies for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
- Brand Development: Helping businesses build recognizable and compelling brands. “Our work isn’t just about music,” Dylan emphasizes. “We’ve partnered with businesses,
entrepreneurs, and agencies to deliver tailored solutions that drive measurable results.”
A Results-Driven Approach
DMT Records has built its reputation on delivering tangible outcomes, whether it’s launching a rollout campaign or helping a small business secure national press coverage.
“We’re not just here to create buzz,” Dylan explains. “We’re here to create lasting success for our clients and partners.”
Looking Ahead
Dylan has big plans for the future of DMT Records, including expanding its reach and continuing to innovate in the marketing and PR space.
“At 23, I feel like we’re just getting started,” Dylan says. “From helping individual clients achieve their goals to supporting other agencies as a white-label partner, our mission is to keep pushing boundaries and delivering results.”
Dylan’s story is one of grit, determination, and vision. With the support of team members like Gage Poler and its role as a trusted vendor, DMT Records has become a shining example of what’s possible when passion meets execution.
