IAC Media Announces New Partnership with Eastmont Community Center
The partnership builds on Eastmont’s established trust in the team and advances a shared commitment to strengthening East Los Angeles and its community-based organizations.
LOS ANGELES — September 2026 — IAC Media is proud to announce a new partnership with Eastmont Community Center, a trusted community-based organization serving children, families, older adults, and residents throughout East Los Angeles.
While this marks the beginning of a new partnership between the two organizations, the IAC Media team brings an established history of supporting Eastmont’s communications and community engagement. That relationship began through Brand LA and now enters a new chapter under IAC Media, with Eastmont’s leadership entrusting the same team to continue and expand the work.
“Eastmont Community Center has spent decades meeting people where they are and connecting East Los Angeles residents with essential support and opportunity,” said Ivy Arias, Founder of IAC Media. “Being invited to continue supporting that work through IAC Media is both an honor and a responsibility. Our goal is to help ensure that Eastmont’s programs, impact, and community knowledge reach the people, partners, and institutions that need to understand them.”
Eastmont Community Center supports a thriving East Los Angeles through empowerment, social services, and programs that elevate civic, social, and economic well-being. Its work includes education, childcare, health and wellness, food and nutrition assistance, financial education, tax-preparation support, emergency relief, and services for older adults and economically disadvantaged residents.
Through the new partnership, IAC Media will support Eastmont’s communications, outreach, digital presence, and community engagement. The work will help make essential programs and resources more visible and accessible while strengthening the organization’s ability to communicate its value to residents, partners, funders, and public institutions.
The collaboration also reflects IAC Media’s broader approach to social responsibility. As the agency grows, it intends to preserve a meaningful place in its work for community-based organizations whose missions contribute directly to social and economic well-being.
For IAC Media, that commitment means applying the same level of strategic thinking, creative expertise, and communications infrastructure offered in commercial and institutional engagements to organizations working closest to the community.
“Social responsibility cannot exist only as a statement about what a company values,” Arias said. “It must be visible in where we invest our expertise, whose work we help strengthen, and how we use our capabilities. Supporting community-based organizations is part of how IAC Media defines responsible growth.”
Community-based organizations frequently serve as the bridge between public resources and the residents those resources are intended to reach. They bring local knowledge, cultural understanding, trusted relationships, and direct experience to challenges that cannot be addressed through broad institutional messaging alone.
Effective communications can help those organizations increase awareness of available services, engage residents, demonstrate impact, build stronger partnerships, and participate more fully in public and regional conversations.
“Organizations like Eastmont do not simply provide programs,” Arias added. “They build trust, improve access, and create pathways to greater stability and opportunity. That work strengthens the entire region, and it deserves communications support that reflects its importance.”
The partnership aligns with IAC Media’s commitment to expanding economic opportunity and strengthening U.S. global competitiveness. The agency views strong local communities and effective public-serving institutions as essential components of broader economic resilience.
By working across the private, nonprofit, educational, and public sectors, IAC Media seeks to help organizations communicate across institutional boundaries and connect regional expertise with the communities it can serve.
The new partnership with Eastmont Community Center represents both earned trust and forward-looking intention: trust in the team continuing the work and a shared intention to strengthen the organization’s reach, visibility, and community impact through IAC Media.
