What are your main responsibilities within your role?
It's everything that a client could possibly need. I'm sort of their right-hand person.
I have 25 clients and talk to several of them on a daily basis. These are the ones who have more pressing things going on.
My work ranges from submitting them for film and television acting jobs to launching their podcasts. I also help route national and international stand-up tours, including one-man shows.
Several of my clients have big runs coming up, and some have started their merch lines in the past couple of years. The digital side has really blown up, especially in finding comedic talent from TikTok and Instagram sketches.
A big part of what I do is brand execution. Clients will partner with big corporations, and I handle the deal and execution to make those posts happen.
These are just some of the things I do. I love that my clients always have so many things going on, and honestly, no day is the same. It's exciting.
