A: ONLY if TALENTED MANAGERS believes that they will be able to assist with the talent’s creative career and have the potential to place talent with a talent agency or professional model management firm, at which time we will retain talent via a contract, as a formal client of TALENTED MANAGERS, acting as either personal manager and/or "mother agent"* in order to guide, monitor and further their professional career in the entertainment industry.

Q: Why would I need a personal manager or a "mother agent"* as well as a talent agent or a model manager?
A: As a personal manager or "mother agent"*, TALENTED MANAGERS provides overall guidance, advice and will personally monitor the professional careers of our talent.
