Who We Are 

Since 1937, the Association of Talent Agents (ATA) has been the official trade association of talent agencies across the U.S., responsible for legislative advocacy and negotiating agency franchise agreements and regulations with the major entertainment guilds.

ATA’s collective voice provides strong and effective support for its members in matters relating to talent-agency business. The association’s one-hundred-plus member companies represent the vast majority of the professional working artists today. ATA provides best practices, a voice in talent-agency related legislation, education, seminars, networking events, conferences, news bulletins, expert opinions and day-to-day support.  

ATA provides negotiation, interpretation, construction and advice concerning talent representation agreements. Our lobbyists, staff, elected leaders, political strategists and legislative committee members and the board represent ATA members every day.

 ATA POlitical action committEES

ATA Political Action Committees (PACs) serve as ATA’s independent, voluntary and nonprofit political action arm. The PACs support legislative and statewide candidates—regardless of political affiliation—based on their ability to make a difference for talent agencies in California and New York. ATA PACs make it possible for talent agencies to participate in the public policy process and voice concerns about issues affecting the representation profession. To learn more, CLICK HERE.
