âThe biggest challenge is time and the constant juggling with all the work and personal projects on my brain â  Crenshaw  says. âEvery working mom struggles with this as you never feel like youâre doing the best job at anything  so itâs all about surrounding yourself with the best team possible.â
 Crenshaw  has surrounded  herself  with a group of women who help  her : Abi Getto  the day-to-day manager for VonStroke and his  Barclay Crenshaw  alias; Esther Yoonâthe clothing manager for Dirtybirdâand Lauren Lipsay  the content and marketing manager for Dirtybird.
Getto adds that while there has been a push for more women to perform at festivals  it turns into an issue of commodifying women first and viewing them as talent second.  Crenshaw  says that the industry is guilty of producing âoverly sexual content that objectifies women â but Dirtybird strives to point out and omit that content.
The Dirtybird Campout festivals are an âadult summer campâ experience that combines electronic music with camping and activities   Crenshaw  says.  She  adds that the East Coast location will feature Florida-specific activities  such as an alligator race  a psychic show and alligator wrestling. Getto notes that locally-sourced BBQ will also be available  and VonStroke chose Florida as the location because he wanted fans on the East Coast to experience the festival.
In addition to expanding the festival   Crenshaw  says the brand doubled Birdfeed subscribers and clothing sales in 2017.
Crenshaw and Getto both agree artist interaction has been key in helping Dirtybird successfully grow.  Crenshaw  says itâs important artists under the label treat fans as friends.
