In 2015, Brent Weinstein became an official agency partner at Beverly Hills talent house UTA. Three years later, UTA has promoted Weinstein again; this time, the agent, known for his work in the digital media industry, will become UTA’s first-ever Chief Innovation Officer.
In his new role, Weinstein will continue to oversee UTA’s operations in the digital media sphere while also co-managing the UTA IQ data insights group, which launched late last year. Weinstein will also add a role in UTA’s News and Broadcast division to his job description, and he will help the talent agency integrate newly-acquired businesses and ventures.
“Over the course of his career at UTA, Brent has embodied UTA’s culture of innovation and entrepreneurship,” said UTA Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Zimmer in a press release. “He’s helped us identify and capitalize on new opportunities and established himself as a thought leader in the industry. For us, there is no greater opportunity or imperative than ensuring we champion ‘what’s next’ for our clients and our business, and no one is better suited than Brent to fill this new role.”
