IS IT POSSIBLE TO WORK WITH MULTIPLE AGENCIES AT THE SAME TIME?!
It is certainly extremely important to clearly distinguish between a pure acting agency, a management company, and a PR agency. Clearly defining responsibilities ensures that each party understands and fulfills its specific role. Personally, we find collaboration between different agencies to be extremely enriching. This coordinated approach allows us to ensure the best possible support for you. Effective communication between, for example, an acting agency and us as management is essential in this regard.
However, as part of our approach, we prioritize exclusivity and refrain from dividing responsibilities among multiple agencies or management companies. This approach is based on the belief that arranging collaborations, advertising deals, or media representation is best handled by a single point of contact. Clear exclusivity prevents confusion among clients, talent, or production companies regarding who is responsible for what. This clarity is crucial for maintaining a professional image and avoiding uncertainty among potential clients. In this industry, it’s often about acting quickly and precisely, and an exclusive partnership optimally supports this process. Additionally, whether you choose to pursue exclusivity is a matter of contract negotiations and monetizing your services.
Competition among various agencies often leads to a significant drop in fees for the booked performer. A client will not book you solely because you are promoted by many agencies. On the contrary: the client will generally try to lower the price they have to pay for you if you are represented by many agencies. One of the agencies will agree to lower their fee to win the contract, making effective fee negotiations impossible, and you will end up working for a wage that is below your actual market value.
