The agency

Most good work is
underpaid because
nobody is asking.

We represent clients across culture and media — creators, public figures, and the publications and titles that cover them. Two disciplines run in parallel. Talent management carries the commercial side: the deal, the negotiation, the contract, the usage, the invoice. Public relations carries how a client is seen: the press, the positioning, the moments that go to plan and the ones that do not.

We are deliberate about who we take on and direct about what their work is worth. Both disciplines are available as one engagement or on their own, so a client can take everything, or only the part they need. Where a title is on the roster, we represent the masthead and its people alike.

  • We represent people, not inventory

    Not a marketplace, not a database, and not synthetic talent. Every client is a real person with a real audience, worked with directly and advocated for by name.

  • We fight for the rate

    Rates stay low because nobody pushes back. We push back, we treat usage as a separate term rather than a free extra, and we don't move first.

  • The deal and the story are one job

    Partnerships and press pull on the same audience. Run separately they compete; run together they compound. That is why both sit under one roof here.

What we do

Two disciplines,
one agency.

Talent management and public relations, for creators, public figures and publications alike. Taken together as a full engagement, or either one on its own.

Talent management

Representation

Day-to-day management and a single point of contact for every brand. Inbound enquiries are triaged, qualified and answered by us, with a named person and a defined escalation route on both sides.

  • Inbound triage, qualification and response
  • Deliverable scheduling and campaign management
  • Brief interpretation and creative direction

Brand partnerships

Outbound placement and deal negotiation. We source the work, set the terms and hold the line on them — with direct brand and agency contacts rather than anonymous marketplaces.

  • Proactive approaches to target brands
  • Rate setting, benchmarking and negotiation
  • Ambassador programmes and long-term retainers

Rights, contracts & compliance

Usage is a separate commercial term, not a free extra. We time-box it, and we read every clause before anything is signed.

  • Agreement review and redlines
  • Usage rights by channel, territory and window — organic, 30/60/90-day paid, or buyout
  • Paid amplification terms: Meta Partnership Ads, TikTok Spark Ads, allowlisting
  • Category exclusivity narrowed to named competitors, for a defined period
  • FTC-compliant disclosure built into every brief and checked before go-live

Commerce & recurring revenue

Sponsorship income is volatile. We build the layer underneath it so a client's earnings are not tied to whatever landed in the inbox this month.

  • Affiliate programmes and tracked-link setup
  • TikTok Shop, Amazon Storefront and LTK placement
  • Appearances, speaking and event bookings
  • Licensing and product deals brokered with specialist counsel

Reporting & career strategy

Every campaign closes with a report, and every report informs what comes next. Positioning should be evidence-led, not a guess.

  • Client-level attribution and tracked-link performance
  • Post-campaign reporting for the brand, in one document
  • Benchmarking against comparable deals we have closed
  • Niche, platform and long-term career mapping
Public relations

Press & media relations

Getting a client in front of the people who write, broadcast and programme. We build the relationships first and pitch second, because the second only works if the first exists.

  • Editorial features, interviews and profiles
  • Podcast, broadcast and panel placement
  • Journalist and editor relationships held directly
  • Award and list submissions

Positioning & narrative

Before anyone can write about a client, there has to be something to write. We build the story, then keep every channel telling the same one.

  • Core narrative, key messages and proof points
  • Biography, boilerplate and press materials
  • Message consistency across press, social and brand work

Launches & announcements

Product drops, partnership reveals, new ventures and milestones — planned as a sequence rather than a single post, so the press and the paid work land in the right order.

  • Announcement strategy and embargo management
  • Press releases and media kits
  • Exclusive placement and tiered rollout
  • Coordination with brand partners' own comms teams

Media training & preparation

The interview is easy when the difficult questions have already been asked somewhere safe.

  • On-record discipline and message control
  • Interview rehearsal, including the questions nobody wants
  • Camera, live and long-form preparation
  • Briefing notes before every significant appearance

Reputation & response

Not every moment is a launch. Some arrive without warning, at the wrong hour, already moving. Those are handled the same way as everything else here — quickly, quietly, and by someone who has done it before.

  • Rapid assessment of what is actually happening, and how far it will travel
  • A holding position while the facts settle
  • Direct lines to platforms, publications and brand partners
  • Counsel coordinated where it is needed, and only where it is needed
  • Discretion as the default setting

Full engagement

Both disciplines, ongoing. The commercial plan and the press plan built as one.

Single discipline

Talent management or public relations on its own, for clients who already have the other side covered.

Project

A launch, a campaign, a single moment. Defined scope, defined end, no ongoing commitment.

Who we represent

By invitation,
and by application.

CreatorsPublic figuresPublications & titles Editors & contributorsFounders

Across tech, wellness and health, beauty, fitness, home and lifestyle, food and drink — and the media that writes about them.

Client names, work and terms are shared privately, on a live brief.

Working with us

Brief to invoice,
handled.

For brands

How it runs

  • Brief us. Product, platform, deliverables, usage and timing.
  • We scope it. The right client, a firm proposal, a delivery date — or an honest no.
  • Paperwork, once. One agreement covering scope, usage, exclusivity and revisions, signed before anything is filmed.
  • Delivery and reporting. Assets to spec, one invoice, one closing report.

What you can expect

Deliverables are specified in writing before production: formats and aspect ratios, hook variants, raw footage, go-live date, and the number of revision rounds included.

  • Every client vetted and worked with directly — real names, verified audiences
  • Usage, exclusivity and paid-media terms settled upfront
  • Disclosure compliance handled, reducing your exposure
  • Press and partnership timing coordinated so they reinforce each other
  • One agreement, one invoice, one point of contact
For creators

What representation includes

  • Inbound brand enquiries answered and qualified for you
  • Outbound placement with brands you actually want
  • Rates set, benchmarked and negotiated on your behalf
  • Press, features and appearances pursued alongside the commercial work
  • Contracts reviewed and redlined before you sign
  • Usage rights and exclusivity capped and paid for, not given away
  • Affiliate, commerce and appearance income built alongside sponsorships
  • Invoices issued and collected

How representation works

A defined term with a clear exit, and a capped tail on the work we secured during it. Nothing you need a lawyer to decode.

Clients can take both disciplines or one. Terms are agreed in writing before anything begins, and discussed directly rather than published.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does a talent and PR agency do?

A talent and PR agency represents clients on two fronts at once. The talent side sources and negotiates commercial deals, handles contracts, usage rights and invoicing, and builds long-term strategy. The public relations side manages how that client is seen — press and media relations, positioning, launches, media preparation and reputation. Clients can be individuals or organisations.

Can services be taken individually, or only as a package?

Both. Clients can take a full engagement across talent management and public relations, a single discipline on its own, or a defined project such as a launch or a campaign.

Do you represent publications as well as people?

Yes. Goldman & Co. represents magazines, titles and other publications alongside individual clients — handling both the title's own press and profile and the commercial deals made in its name. Where a title is on the roster, its editors, writers and contributors can be represented individually as well.

Do you work with clients who are not on the roster?

Yes. Public relations and project work are available to clients we do not represent commercially, and brands can brief the agency directly without an ongoing relationship.

How do you vet the clients you represent?

Every client we represent is real and known to us directly, with an audience we have reviewed for authenticity. We do not represent AI-generated or synthetic talent, and we do not place anyone we have not met.

How does the press side work alongside brand partnerships?

They are run as one plan rather than two. A partnership announcement, a product launch and an editorial feature are sequenced together so they reinforce each other instead of competing for the same attention in the same week.

How do you handle usage rights and whitelisting?

Usage is negotiated and time-boxed separately from the work itself. Organic reshare, paid usage windows of 30, 60 or 90 days, and paid amplification through Meta Partnership Ads or TikTok Spark Ads are each treated as distinct rights with a defined territory, channel and end date. We do not grant perpetual all-media rights as standard.

Who is responsible for FTC disclosure on a paid partnership?

Both the brand and the creator carry responsibility under the FTC Endorsement Guides, and an agency can also be liable for endorsements it helps create or distribute. We build clear and conspicuous disclosure into every brief and check it before content goes live.
