United Talent Agency Promotes Agents, Assistants
This is a good week to be part of United Talent Agency. The global talent and entertainment company announced May 1 that five agents from the Los Angeles and New York offices had been promoted across five divisions, along with nearly two dozen assistants to coordinator.
UTA has upped Dru Bass in Music Crossover, while Bri Hildebrand has been promoted in Events & Experiences; Aaron Millberg in Endorsements & Voiceover; Samantha Schoenberg in Digital Talent; and Stephen Travierso in Talent.
Wednesday’s announcement notes that Digital Talent, Music and Events & Experiences are some of the company’s fastest growing divisions. UTA – which recently acquired digital talent influencer firm DBA – carved out a space in digital early on, being the first major talent agency to launch a division exclusively dedicated to representing digital artists. The company’s Events & Experiences division works with major consumer and business events, including CES, Politicon and Vidcon, which last year sold to Viacom in a UTA-brokered deal.
UTA has promoted 21 assistants were promoted to coordinator in the Los Angeles, New York and Nashville offices in the divisions of Comedy Touring, Corporate Services, Endorsements & Voiceover, E-Sports, Events & Experiences, Motion Picture Literary, Music, News & Broadcasting, Production, Television Literary, Television Talent, UTA Marketing and UTA Ventures.
“We’re thrilled to announce the promotion of this group of colleagues who exemplify UTA’s commitment to outstanding work, innovative thinking and a collaborative spirit,” company co-president David Kramer said in a statement. “They will continue to be instrumental in advocating for artists and accelerating both the agency’s growth and future successes.”
Along with UTA’s Los Angeles headquarters and offices in New York and Nashville, the company has locations in Miami, London and Malmö, Sweden. The company represents clients across film, television, news, music, sports, theater, fine art, literature, video games, podcasts and other social and digital content.
