Celebrity Agency

Useful Talent has been matching celebrities with brands for over 25 years. Finding the right celebrity ambassador for your brand can be a tricky, time-consuming endeavor.

Our team of experienced celebrity agents knows which methods work best when approaching celebrities and have built-up extensive networks of contacts to save our clients time. We also know what qualities brands should be looking for in their chosen celebrity to maximize results.

Useful Talent is one of the best, most reliable and longest established celebrity agencies based in the UK. This is because we understand that authenticity is an essential component to building a successful campaign. Couple this with a strong PR approach that will engender plenty of media coverage and you have a winning formula.

We also understand that many content avenues exist for applying a celebrity’s talents. This has become increasingly important in the digital era as the younger generation is both media- and marketing-savvy. Therefore, we think long-and-hard on what communication tools are available, and which will best drive a successful collaboration.

Useful Talent, Useful Chefs, Useful Voices, Useful TV, Useful Sports & Useful Speakers with offices in London, New York, Monaco, Los Angeles and now, Abu Dhabi have been responsible for negotiating innumerable celebrity-led endorsements, advertising contracts, PR campaigns, corporate entertainment, product launches and personal appearances ranging from the very modest to multi-million dollar campaigns.

We speak the same language as our agency clients as well as being highly skilled in negotiating the best deals with managements when buying Talent. We have saved advertisers huge sums of money by cutting out unnecessary middlemen, whilst generating millions in income for our Talent. And because we are independent, not acting as an agent for anyone except our advertising & PR clients, we have an outstanding reputation for skill and integrity in matching the aspirations and strategic marketing plans of major international advertisers with precisely the correct celebrity spokesperson.

When we speak. Celebrities listen.

Useful Talent has long established contacts directly with many celebrities, personalities, and sports stars as well as with their representatives, managers, publicists, attorneys, personal assistants, and agents. We are able to access major British, European and Hollywood talent with the minimum delay and have an outstanding reputation for matching advertisers with precisely the most appropriate celebrity spokesperson.

We consult with our clients in the Advertising, Marketing, and PR industry to identify the celebrity or personality with the strongest appeal to the target market who will deliver the best possible results at the most economical cost for any proposed celebrity led advertising or endorsement campaign. We give our clients unlimited ideas and suggestions completely FREE of charge.

We will contact the appropriate celebrity, personality, sports star, musician, comedian, or Hollywood star by the method THEY have requested to negotiate the best terms on behalf of our client. We prepare, issue and negotiate water-tight contracts to bind and protect both the client and the celebrity. We deal with the payment of deposits and arrange for the collection and payment of subsequent contractual monies. If necessary we will arrange for payments to be made in ways designed to reduce the tax burden of the Talent concerned.

Sometimes it is only through thoughtful accounting in conjunction with our experienced lawyers and taxation experts that will encourage a particular Talent to agree to undertake a contract. We can make financial arrangements a big advertising agency could not.

We make all the necessary arrangements for the travel and attendance of the selected Talent at the studio or other venue and personally supervise whatever activity is called for under the contract. We are one of the most experienced and reliable agencies in the world for any commercial activity concerning any type of Talent.
