YouTube sensation Eric “Airrack” Decker has signed with UTA for representation in all areas.
With a combined online audience of over 16 million subscribers — and just over 14 million followers on YouTube alone — Airrack has named digital media veteran Josh Mattingly as chief operating officer of his production banner.
Mattingly will oversee business operations and ramp up content production as UTA helps expand Airrack’s business ties across several verticals, including digital partnerships, TV, live events and publishing. Previously, Mattingly completed executive stints at Tbnr (PrestonPlayz), Smosh, React and Donut Media.
Decker’s signing with UTA comes as Hollywood talent agencies that previously mostly chased A-list actors and pro sport athletes increasingly spot and sign up new social media content creators and influencers from Instagram, YouTube and more recently digital platforms like TikTok to bolster their careers and business streams.

Chicago – The power of creativity, and the risk of live theater, is all on display through Nothing Without a Company’s latest amazing journey, “Down the Moonlit Path.” The interactive stage experience refreshes the soul and realizes the joy of life.
Play Rating: 5.0/5.0
Combining nine fairy tales and legends, “Down the Moonlit Path” takes the audience through a woodland path that weaves the tales together, and spotlights both their cultural differences and astounding similarities. The audience members are free to roam (at times, depending on their own sense of adventure) about the setting, and the actors, puppeteers and production staff magically weave the elements together to manufacture a sort of blessing onto perspective and soul.

Audience members are asked to choose between two journeys, and there are two “voices” who guide their destinations.
