NEW YORK -- Paradigm has named branded entertainment industry veteran Lori Sale to launch and head up a new artist marketing division that will focus on maximizing the earnings potential of the talent agency's clients.
Sale, who joins Paradigm from ICM where she launched a similar division in 2006, will be charged with partnering with an artist's primary agent to service the client's marketing and "360 degree representation needs," including business partnerships with brands, endorsements and tie-ins, sponsorships, licensing and merchandising and branded entertainment projects across TV, film, the Web and other platforms.
"From the beginning of Paradigm's growth spurt, we have focused on maximizing our existing business models and creating new ones, rather than trying to protect old ones, and this new division certainly fits into that philosophy," said Paradigm chairman Sam Gores. "We believe in the team concept of representation, which is advantageous to our clients, and this is another great resource that fits perfectly into our DNA."
Sale began her new position Monday and will begin to staff her department immediately with internal and external candidates.
