Cinema & Media Arts + Philosophy
Practitioner management
Direct artist access
Four things every signing gets
Long-term career building
Decisions weighed against where an artist should be in three years, not which booking is available this month.
Strategic positioning
Deliberate choices about the rooms, casts and campaigns an artist is seen in, and the ones they are not.
Cross-platform visibility
Film, television, digital media and music treated as one career rather than four separate tracks.
Collaborative relationships
Genuine working relationships with clients and with the industry professionals around them.
Leroy truly cares about his talent’s growth and success.
