"TFA is constantly challenging itself to fuel the business and adapt to the ever-changing definition of celebrity," said Sam Feldman, Chairman of The Feldman Agency. "We have partnered with W/M because they were first to market and the founders, Jessica and Hilary, are well-versed in talent management, casting, social media, brand and marketing. We welcome the INF Influencer Agency model to the Feldman family."
"The talent space is evolving. We have been following the global impact of digital influencers and believe that their celebrity is one that requires management as the influencer market grows," says Jeff Craib, President of The Feldman Agency. "This partnership is a natural step for us and we look forward to launching several exciting initiatives in collaboration with INF Influencer Agency."
Influencers are the new celebrity and their authentic voices are dominating as marketers devote a growing share of their budget to influencer-based initiatives. Brands are investing in influencers to increase their visibility and social platform numbers, differentiate their product from the competition, create content and ultimately generate revenue through influencers' loyal and engaged fans.
In addition to managing influencers' online careers and building their brands offline, INF works closely with agencies and brands to cast talent for global influencer programs. On behalf of brands and agencies they manage casting, influencer relations, and program results.
"W/M is Canada's first agency dedicated to managing digital influencers," co-founders Jessica Thomas Cooke and Hilary Chan-Kent added. "The creation of INF with The Feldman Agency is an exciting alliance that will allow us to sign talent on an international level, and also open offices in both Canada and the USA to service that talent with the experience and reputation of Sam Feldman and his team."
