University of Texas at Arlington designates Darnell Strom as chief of its United Kingdom office
Revamped: UTA's London Office Gets a New Leader 🚀
Stepping Up the Game in London Town 🇬🇧
United Talent Agency (UTA) has given Darnell Strom the reins to its UK office, a Marvel-ous step for the entertainment powerhouse. Based in the heart of London, Strom will lead the charge in UTA's expansion across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The Man Behind the Vision 👨💼
A proven connector in the industry, Strom comes with a cross-disciplinary know-how and a globetrotting rolodex spanning entertainment, fashion, sport, and media. Previously the head of UTA's Culture & Commerce division, Strom moves from LA to London to lead this international expansion push.
UTA's Quest for European Dominance 🌍
The UK capital is one of the most vibrant and creative hubs in the world, and UTA's not about to let it slip by. With this appointment and acquisitions like those of Curtis Brown, ROOF Football Agency, and the consultancy firm MediaLink, UTA has been building its UK base for two years, positioning London as a key international hub.
The Road Ahead 🏝️
As UTA's new big kahuna in the UK, Strom will collaborate closely with the London teams across music, creators, brand marketing, comedy, production arts, and advisory services, aiming to strengthen the agency's UK and EMEA footprint. With his deep relationships, innovative mindset, and relentless drive, Strom is looking to create a more connected and thriving UTA, not just in London but far beyond.
Saying Goodbye and Moving Forward 🌱
Obi Asika, who co-headed UK music and helped UTA establish its London presence, took a step back this year to concentrate on his Malachite Group. His departure set the stage for Strom's impressive ascent.
UTA is unstoppable. With Strom at the helm, the future's looking brighter than ever. Get ready for a thrilling ride! 🎢🎇
