Taylor Talks Newsletter - 11/23/2020
Alright, I have searched the internet for reputable management agencies that are 1) legit and 2) friendly to minorities.
What is a management agency? They can be your manager or help you negotiate deals on your behalf. They have so many media contacts and can connect you with brands you want to work with.
Here are my top 3 options. I applied to all of them and will keep you posted on what happens. You should apply to these too...if you are interested in representation:
https://www.shade.co/ - Very friendly to minority creators. I SAW LEGIT CREATORS THAT LOOKED LIKE ME ON THE PAGE. Done deal.
Shade represents the “dopest” and most influential black and brown creators. They help creators of color make a living from their talent and influence.
The talent management agency’s sole mission is to help black and brown creators become self-employed while doing what they love. They help you build your personal brand and pitch you to companies for paid collaborations.
They offer two ways that influencers can work with them:
Representation - Like a traditional talent agency, they pitch you for new opportunities while negotiating your incoming deals. They also provide support as you continue building your brand.
Management - Everyone starts with representation; however, as your brand and influence continue to grow, it may be time for Shade’s digital management team to step in to help you level up.
