In 2017, DCX was named to Adweek's Agency 3.0 list. DCX devotes a portion of its profits to driving social change through situationist art stunts, such as its #JessesPricedOut and airBnBodega.com campaigns to save Jesse's Deli, threatened by rent increase; its "Trump Hut," a luxury protest hut in the shape of Donald Trump's hair, which received national and international media attention; its Bulletproof Schools gun violence protest, which received national media attention for sending Brooklyn students to school wearing bulletproof vests.
