ICM Partners has hired Melissa Aouate as a junior television literary agent. She will join the Los Angeles office of the agency after Thanksgiving. This marks Aouate’s return to ICM where she started her career as an assistant in the motion picture literary department. Aouate recently was the director of development at Robert Zemeckis’ ImageMovers, where she worked on the recently released feature, Flight, and was an executive on The Demonologist, The Charles Fort Prophecies, and How To Survive A Garden Gnome Attack. Additionally, Aouate has been involved with ImageMovers’ Showtime drama The Borgias and developed a number of projects in the works at Fox TV Studios deal where ImageMovers is under an overall deal.
ICM Partners has been looking to beef up its TV lit ranks following a couple of agent departures over the past year: Mickey Berman & Josh Hornstock, who went to UTA, as well as veteran Bob Broder, who went to run client Chuck Lorre’s company. On the movie lit side, ICM Partners recently brought in leading indie film rep Bart Walker.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

This is why ICM is in shambles. Enough said.
They brought a development executive with no client list on board? If it were a veteran executive who had established contacts through years in the biz, sure I get it. But this hire…..not so much.
Cool hire. She’ll bring an interesting perspective.
This is an ineffective move. No value add.
ICM is in shambles because they hired Bart and Christina who brought a great client list and a jr agent in TV to help there massive business? Don’t understand that comment.
She’s hot. We could’ve used her.
so much for the trainee department! The message is clear: work as an assistant for a year then leave ICM to go be a glorified assistant at SNL or a production company and then you’ll be asked back to be promoted to agent!
No one can ever replace Mickey Berman & Josh Hornstock. But nice try!
Haters gonna hate. Let Melissa show us what she can do before you assume she’s a hack! I’ve heard great things about her from multiple people I’ve worked with in the past!
I’ve worked with Melissa – she’s young, hardworking and very bright. She’ll do great there. And she’s prettier than Mickey.
Who cares if she’s young? All that matters is if she can do the job effectively. Hard working and bright will serve her well.
Classy lady, hard worker-always been a fan! All the best, Mel!
seems like a creative move. excited to see how she does!
She’s a class act and she’ll do a great job.
she hasn’t developed anything. credit should go to mike rose
