Former Gersh agent Emma Clarke is joining talent management company Currents Management.
Clarke, who represents talent including Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani, left Gersh last month, after moving over following the agency’s acquisition of A3 Artists Agency.
She is the latest talent agent to move into management.
Clarke spent four years at A3 including nearly three of them as an agent in the alternative division.
In addition to Lazkani, she is also bringing over married YouTubers Joshua and Savannah Alexander, creator of San Francisco-based style blog For the Love and online personality Shannon Willardson and interior stylist, and DIYer and founder of Avante Garde Julia Sousa.
Currents Management was founded five years ago by Nilou and Cameron Ajdari and has centered on digital stars such as Kaylee and Taylor Dudley, Sidney Raz, Reza and Puja Khan, FitDadCEO Dave Ogleton and Clayton Farris.
“I am thrilled and honored to join the team at Currents,” said Clarke. “The opportunity to join Currents reflects a milestone in my career. In my new position as talent manager, I will be able to leverage my skills, experience, and creative ideas to continue to expand Currents ever-growing roster. I am excited to work alongside talented colleagues, contribute new ideas, and play a role in driving Currents mission forward.”
“We’re excited for Emma to join Currents, expanding our lifestyle, family, and DIY roster while also spearheading our unscripted television offering,” added Cameron Ajdari. “Her true passion for her clients, her hands-on approach, and her grit and determination make her a strong cultural fit for Currents . We are confident that Emma is positioned to continue to grow into a leader at Currents and in the industry as a whole. The addition of Emma and her roster further positions Currents as a leader in family friendly, lifestyle, and podcast categories.”
