How we work on it

Inside Entertainment Talent.

India does not have one entertainment industry. It has a dozen language industries with separate economics, separate star systems and separate press, plus a streaming layer that cuts across all of them. Counsel that treats Hindi cinema as the default gets regional talent the wrong deals.

Frequently asked

Questions about entertainment talent.

Do you replace a talent manager?

No. We work alongside management on positioning, commercial strategy and reputation. Day to day bookings and diary stay with the manager.

Do you work with new talent?

Yes, where there is a genuine reason to build. Early positioning is cheaper and more effective than repositioning later.

What about conflicts?

We maintain a conflicts register and disclose before accepting a mandate. We do not act for a brand and its talent in the same negotiation.
