In the UK, a talent agent acts as the vital bridge between creative professionals (actors, musicians, writers, presenters, influencers) and the industry “buyers” who want to hire them (casting directors, production companies, brands, publishers).
Unlike in the US, where there is a strict legal separation between an agent (who procures work) and a manager (who guides the career), the UK entertainment industry usually rolls both of these responsibilities into one. A UK talent agent is essentially a day-to-day business manager, career strategist, and legal protector all in one. We work hard in partnership with our talent to plan, strategise and develop their creative careers.
For actors, this can mean suggesting and securing them auditions or meetings for casting opportunities, and then managing the ensuing process to hopefully secure a job! For presenters and experts, this can mean identifying specific events or sectors to pitch them to and working on all other screen and media opportunities.
Actors: We operate as a Sole Agent for Acting, most of our actors are exclusively represented by us, with a few exceptions such as Voiceover agents and US management where we work collaboratively.
Presenters, Speakers & Experts: We either operate on a Talent Management basis (all enquiries to us/ your team) or a more general Booking basis.
