Scott
My man. Well done. You deserve it.
Cheers mate
Simon Mirren
Nicely done Tim, Ken, etc! Great to see when good people get the accolaides they deserve!
Yay Tim!!! He is awesome and a tireless worker. So deserved.
John Buzzetti rocks my face off. Best thing to happen to WME and Broadway in years. Exceptional agent.
Slotty! Congrats man.
Well done, Alicia! Congratulations and all the very, very best!
Hooray Alicia Gordon! Best in the business.
Scott — congrats. Very happy for you.
Scott –
Long overdue. You rule.
Way to go Josh! Well deserved.
congrats to Josh Pyatt. A good agent.
Congratulations Scott. You deserve it. Right on!
This should give everyone a little clue as to the direction the agency business is taking: nearly 50% of the promotions were in music (one of the few cash cows the majors have left), a quarter of them were TV (still some money there) and then a random smattering of others that will come along every so often (commercials, books, legit).
Also, I only count 11 up there…
No David Odaka?
Talent department…Boomer? Esther? Morley?
Too mid-level and very replaceable
None are signers, only lifer servicers.
What about super power Jonathan Rosen? Good kid.
rosen is a board member
I think you’re referring to Rick Rosen. Pretty common last name in this industry (as well as law, medicine, banking and accounting :p ).
WME signs Stacy Keibler and makes Scott Seidel a partner?
Maybe CAA can sleep easier now…
Congratulations Scott! You’ve earned this with your commitment to excellence and your passion for your clients. Here’s to many more adventures ahead!

Congratulations to Tim Curtis! Truly the best commercial agent in the business!
What about Marie Sheehy? I hear that she is taking meetings around town. She has been at the agency forever. It is crazy that she has not been made a partner yet.
She’s not an agent buddy.
Holy Baker’s bun. When did rosen get appointed? Guys going to boxed and flowered in that tomb.
No one mentions SMN?? For real? No love for that hot Miss Kirby either??
Guess bruthas don’t read Nikki!
So happy for Tim Curtis – best celebrity endorsement agent in the biz and this is long overdue! Congratulations Tim!
Scott,
TOUCHDOWN! Well deserved, we are thrilled.
