EXCLUSIVE: WME and MVE have prolonged their burgeoning relationship by striking a co-sign deal over TikTok-Instagram presenter Ellie Evelyn.
Following in the footsteps of Love Island star Uma Jammeh, Evelyn, whose full name is Ellie Evelyn Smith, will sign to WME for agency while management remains with MVE. Both agencies are part of the Endeavor stable and they are calling these new deals a “360 management and agent partnership,” with more of these talent conversations understood to be in the offing.
With a combined 360,000 social media followers, Evelyn posts TikTok and Instagram vids mainly on entertainment and fashion via a signature comedy entertainment style. She has recently posted on the likes of London Fashion Week and Inside Out 2.
“Ellie Evelyn’s talent is undeniable,” said MVE’s Claudia Parrinello and Minnie Harding. “Comedy entertainment at its finest, Ellie is a force to be reckoned with and so we are excited to collaborate with WME once again and accelerate her career together across broadcast, brand, digital and live.”
Evelyn said: “I’m beyond excited to be represented by both MVE and WME. They each have an incredible track record of elevating talent on a global scale, and I can’t wait to see what we achieve together.”
Run by Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee, MVE has offices in London and Los Angeles. Other clients on the growing roster include Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, Kyron Hamilton, George Clarke, Caroline Parker, Savannah Sachdev and Jammeh. Harding joined last year as head of talent in the UK.
