Key recent partnerships include Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry x Just Eat Takeaway, Will Ferrell x Lunar, Rebecca Ferguson x Copper.co, Chris Hemsworth x Dubai Expo.

Our bespoke offering initially focuses on matching and securing the best possible Talent partners for each individual brief, creatively, financially and strategically.

From this point our expertise and focus is to align all key brand and agency stakeholders, in collaboration with the Talent, to deliver an authentic, integrated campaign.

The scope of our services covers research, insight & analysis, contracts & negotiation, cross-media expertise, risk assessment, and compliance with all territory specific Union and Tax agreements. When campaigns require reimagining Talents’ original characters and movie clips, we partner with Born Licensing, the award winning, entertainment-based IP licensing agency.
