EXCLUSIVE: Veteran TV talent agent Todd Eisner is joining Innovative Artists a little over a month after he left APA. Most if not all of his clients are expected to follow him. Eisner was at APA for eight years. Before that, he spent a decade at Writers & Artists. Additionally, Innovative also has hired Max Nagler, a new agent in its Branding & Licensing Department. Nagler was previously at CAA with Maggie Dumais, now the head of Innovative’s B&L Department, and had his own business for the last two years.

A great guy and a terrific agent!
Innovative are great people. I should know they’ve been my agents for 20 years! Welcome!
This is a great addition for Innovative. Todd is hard working and deeply connected.
Congrats Todd.
Who does Todd rep?
Wish the best for Innovative. They’re like the smart stoner you knew in college but of the agency business – they’ll never be top of the class but always do well, and some people love them while others can’t stand them.
CONGRATS. he can go nowhere but down and he has. no clients and at innovative = mailroom for this fella. i wonder if they will allow him to keep spending money in dinners at craigs by his lonesome like he did when he was at apa? lol CONGRATS!
wow. must be ryan martin or barry mcpherson writing this one
sometimes negative comments are funny and true
not this time
todd’s a great guy and a great agent Innovative is rapidly becoming the best boutique alternative to the big ones. Good match
CONGRATS! noone likes this guy. hes kind of like an action figure whenyou take of the clothes. SO GREAT! noone can tell who or what it is! lol. anyways. Toddles, back to the mailroom.” HUGE CONGRATS!
With a $150/week cap on talent agent expenses at APA I don’t think that covers that many dinners at Craigs…
$150? I don’t think it’s that high…
congrats to Todd, knew he would land on his feet…APA better watch their back!
Big congrats to Todd! I had the pleasure of working with him and can attest he is a great guy and a fantastic agent. Can sometimes clash with certain personalities but what agent doesn’t? He’ll do great and I think will be a lot happier in a place that allows him to thrive without putting him down.
Great guy, very smart and works really hard for his clients. A total team player. Congratulations, I wish you success at Innovative.
congrats to Todd. A really good guy who works hard. Another good person who is leaving APA while Ryan Martin continues to ruin the talent department. Ryan can still sit in his office and bet basketball games all day and look at you with the dumbest look I have ever seen.
Congrats Todd! Always a class act. Wish you the best at Innovative.
Congrats Todd!!! Wishing you the best as always. Scott must have blown the bank on this hire. We were all talking about this having a great lunch at Geoffrey’s in Malibu. Art Schwartz and Maxwell G from up North were pumped but bsing as usual.
