EXCLUSIVE: Elevate Management is expanding its activities with the launch of an Endorsement and Press department headed by Karolyne Leibovici.
The creation of the new department reinforces the services of the Paris-based talent management agency specialised in representing American and international talents in the European market, particularly in France.
Talents supported by the company in recent years include Jeff Goldblum, Keke Palmer, Clara McGregor, Elsa Pataky, Holt McCallany, and Djimon Hounsou.
Leibovici brings two decades of public relations and press experience and a deep knowledge of the American market to the newly created role.
Alongside working with Elevate Management, she will continue to lead her company A&K Communication, one of France’s top agencies specialising in talent image management in cinema and music.
Elevate Management said the new department will aim to enhance the visibility and image of talents by facilitating strategic partnerships with renowned brands and coordinating press relations across Europe.
The company credited Leibovici with being a pioneer in France, as one of the professionals to first develop the publicist role for talents in the country.
“We are thrilled to welcome Karolyne to the team. Her expertise and background will enable our talents to position themselves optimally in the European market,” said Elevate Management CEO Florent Lamy.
“In collaboration with my partner Daniel Blanc, who brings his unique experience to the development of Elevate Management, we aim to shape new success trajectories for our international talents. We are more determined than ever to provide strategic and sustainable opportunities to our clients and emerging talents.”
The creation of the new Endorsement and Press department continues Elevate Management’s steady expansion of recent years.
The company opened an office in New York last fall as well as a sports-focused branch in Miami and an operation in London earlier in 2024.
The decade-old company – co-headed Lamy and Blanc – is one of the only management companies representing U.S. talents in Europe with a U.S. management agency style model.
