London · Talent management
Elevate talent.
Build legacies.
ELV8 represents athletes, artists and the brands that back them. We handle the deals, the partnerships and the long game, so our clients can concentrate on the thing they're actually here to do.
Representation
Three rosters,
one standard
Sport and music are managed as separate worlds. They shouldn't be. The same partnership, the same negotiation and the same audience work sits behind both, and the crossover between them is where the value is.
Artists
Day-to-day management for recording artists, producers and creators building a catalogue and an audience.
- Label and publishing negotiation
- Touring and live strategy
- Brand partnerships and sync
- Release planning and rollout
- Catalogue and rights management
Brands
The other side of the table. We match brands to talent who genuinely fit, then run the partnership properly.
- Talent casting and matching
- Campaign and activation build
- Ambassador programmes
- Event and appearance booking
- Contract and delivery management
Services
What we actually do
Management is a broad word. Here is the specific work, so you know what you're signing up for.
Contract negotiation
Terms, clauses, renewals and exits. We read the whole thing and we argue about the parts that matter later, not just the headline number.
Commercial partnerships
Sourcing, pitching and closing sponsorships and endorsements — and turning down the ones that pay now and cost later.
Brand building
Positioning, content direction and social strategy. A recognisable identity is an asset that outlasts the contract.
Media and PR
Press relationships, interview preparation, announcement planning and handling the situations nobody plans for.
Career strategy
Where you should be in three years and which decisions this season get you there. Reviewed properly, not in passing.
Commercial operations
Invoicing, deliverables, reporting and chasing. Partnerships fail on admin more often than they fail on ideas.
Approach
A career is short.
A legacy isn't.
Small roster, by design
We take on a limited number of clients so that each one gets a named person who knows their situation without being briefed on it first.
Built for the long deal
The quick money is easy to find. We're more interested in the partnership that renews for five years and opens the next three doors.
London and East Africa
Based in London, working across Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and Ethiopia. Talent doesn't stay in one market and neither do we.
