Northbank Talent Management promotes Counsell and Christopher

Northbank Talent Management has promoted Elizabeth Counsell and Natalie Christopher to the role of agent, respectively, “as the agency enters its next phase of growth".

Counsell, currently marketing and communications executive, will be promoted to fiction agent, and Christopher, currently operations executive, will be promoted to film and TV agent. Both will step into their new roles on 17th April, 2023.

The news comes as Matthew Cole joins Northbank from Macmillan to head the agency’s non-fiction business. Northbank c.e.o. Diane Banks said: “Both our fiction and book-to-screen businesses are growing at pace, particularly the latter: we’re now representing book-to-screen rights on behalf of other agencies as well as for our own clients.

“Elizabeth and Natalie know both the business and the market inside out from their current roles, and have always gone above and beyond in suggesting new ideas and making new contacts. We are hiring for replacements for their existing roles.”
