The Agency Group and the Gersh Agency have announced a strategic alliance.
The new partnership allows each company to leverage the other’s strengths and expertise to create cross-platform opportunities for its music and entertainment clients in the areas of television, motion picture, literary, theatre, and personal appearances.
Through the new relationship with The Agency Group, Gersh has signed on to represent Kinks lead singer/songwriter Ray Davies, as they collaborate on developing a Broadway show based on Davies’ extensive music catalog. Gersh’s long-time client, Bobcat Goldthwait, has adapted and will direct a movie based on The Kinks’ classic album, “Schoolboys in Disgrace.”
In addition, indie band 3OH!3, the alternative-pop duo whose album “Streets of Gold” had three hit singles on the iTunes charts, will now be working with Gersh to seek out film and television opportunities, while The Agency Group will continue to book the artist’s live tours.
Under the agreement The Agency Group will secure additional international tour bookings in select markets for Gersh’s comedy clients and offer access to their extensive roster of music artists for possible collaborations. Theater collaborations will also be an integral part of the partnership, including pairing each other’s clients to create and package new shows and musicals.
The Gersh/The Agency Group partnership is spearheaded by Rick Greenstein, Senior Partner and Senior Executive Vice President at Gersh; Neil Warnock, CEO, The Agency Group Worldwide; Steve Martin, President, North America, The Agency Group-New York; and Bruce Solar, Senior Vice President, The Agency Group-Los Angeles.
Greenstein has led the Gersh Comedy division for fifteen years representing clients including Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx and Drew Carey. Warnock represents clients including Pink Floyd, Nickelback, and Dolly Parton, and has expanded The Agency Group worldwide with five international offices and more than 1,500 clients in all music genres.
