Abrams Artists Agency continues to add to its gaming roster with five high-profile signings.
The talent agency has signed Matt Cobuzio, Britanni Johnson, Sam Seum, SayNoToRage, and Meg Turney (pictured above) to its alternative programming, licensing, and digital division.
Cobuzio counts over 750,000 subscribers on his flagship MCSportzHawk channel and another 1 million subscribers on a separate hub called Top Ten Trends. Johnson is a Forbes ’30 Under 30′ nominee known for her voiceover, performance capture, and hosting work. Seum is a mom-slash-streamer who debuted on Twitch in 2015 after other pursuits in the space, including FX makeup and voiceovers. She has also participated in numerous philanthropic endeavors, including streaming fundraisers for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
SayNoToRage — whose screen name is a statement about losing one’s temper while gaming — is best known for his Destiny 2 streams on Twitch, while Turney is a streamer and cosplayer who has contributed to SourceFed, SourceFedNerd, and Rooster Teeth‘s The Know news brand.
“The rapid growth of this division within our successful alternative programming, licensing, and digital division has been incredible,” Abrams partners Robert Attermann, Brian Cho, and Adam Bold said in a statement. “Our recent agent hires in the division have provided the department’s clients opportunities in all aspects of esports and gaming while exploring opportunities in more traditional forms of media.”
