Agency / Business name
Pink Mustard Entertainment
What do you do?
I am founder/director and Head Agent at Pink Mustard HQ in Salford, Manchester
We represent talent including dancers, models and actors for TV, film, print and commercials through the agency and have a client list in both Manchester and London.
Our other side of the business is Pink Mustard Live – this is where our expertise in live performances comes in. We choreograph, cast and create productions for fashion shows, corporate parties and events.
Who do you do it for?
Talking specifically on the agency side, we work mainly with casting directors, productions companies or directly with brands themselves. Some of our recent commercial work includes M&S, Heinz, Apex rides, KFC, Sky mobile and Tena, artists include MNEK/sleep walkers, Bissett, James Smith, Rak su and more. We also provide talent for feature films including the 4 times BAFTA nominated ‘Boiling Point’ starring Stephen Graham which was an epic and unique project to be involved with!
For our live shows we work with corporate clients, fashion brands and PR companies to bring an event or production to life right from conception through to completion.
Who / what kind of businesses would you like to do more with?
We love the variety Pink Mustard already brings and fabulous clients we currently work with. One day I am choreographing a fashion show, the next day I am confirming talent on a movie – as my background was in the commercial industry before starting up the agency we have a lot more to offer than just booking talent. We have in house creatives too and this is something we would love to do more of, allowing us to be involved in the creative process.
How would your best client describe you?
Definitely professional, good energy and always bringing the best team of performers to a project. I work hard to represent the right people to in turn represent me and the Pink Mustard brand. Our ethos at the agency is to nurture the new talent coming through, I am passionate about mental health in the industry and being a support system for our artists which does stand us apart and something I am really proud of.
