UTA opens new London Office at 1 Newman Street

United Talent Agency (UTA) opened its new London Office today (Thursday 15th June), at the intersection of Fitzrovia and Soho. 

The company will mark the occasion with a gala opening event this evening attended by clients and industry leaders. 

The 28,000 sq ft space occupies two floors at 1 Newman Street W1, and is designed by award-winning architectural firms Gensler and Modus Workspace. The offices house members of the company’s music practice, as well as agents who run the range of representation services, from production arts and podcasting, to endorsements and voiceovers, entertainment marketing as well as advisory services through UTA-owned MediaLink.  

The location is also a few short blocks from Cunard House, the new home of UK talent and literary agency Curtis Brown Group, which became part of UTA last year — the first time a major US talent agency acquired a top European talent firm.

"London is one of the world’s great cultural and commercial centres, and this expansion reflects UTA’s growing investment in bringing UK and European clients more opportunities to make an impact around the world,” said Jeremy Zimmer, c.e.o. and co-founder of UTA. "We’re excited to move into our new London home, creating a vibrant hub for our expanding team and range of capabilities across entertainment, sports and business.” 

UTA said the “close proximity” of all the UTA-affiliated operations “will foster increased collaboration and make more collective expertise and resources available to clients as well as the broader London creative and business communities”. UTA’s London office will continue to be co-led by music agents Neil Warnock MBE and Obi Asika.
