Vertical Talent is a next-generation talent agency built at the intersection of entertainment, creator media, and technology. Founded by a former digital creator and an ex-Microsoft engineer, the company was created around a simple belief: representatives should spend their time advising talent and building careers, not buried in administrative work.
We leverage proprietary technology to automate much of the work that traditionally happens after a deal is negotiated. This allows our team to focus on what matters most:
Advising talent on long-term strategy and career development
Building relationships with brands, buyers, and decision-makers
Structuring partnerships, business ventures, and creative projects
Identifying new opportunities and helping talent grow their businesses
Our coordinators/assistants are embedded directly into client work from day one. Team members gain hands-on experience in negotiations, talent management, brand partnerships, and business development, with a clear path toward becoming a representative. For high performers, advancement typically occurs within six months.
We're building the future of talent representation: a lean, technology-enabled agency where ambitious people can develop real expertise, take ownership early, and help shape the next generation of creative talent businesses.
