“We continue to see steady growth at Select and are thrilled to have two incredible women join our team,” Select’s partners — Lisa Filipelli, Scott Fisher, Amy Neben, and Adam Wescott — said in a joint statement. “We also welcome new talent to our group and look forward to working together to build their brands. We’re proud of our team’s continued innovation and resilience during these challenging times.”
In their new roles, Gilpin (who was formerly a talent publicist at Kovert) and Puzon (who formerly served as a coordinator for top Select clients like Eva Gutowski, Lauren Riihimaki, and Gigi Gorgeous) will be tasked with helping clients monetize their online content, pursue premium programming ventures, cultivate long-lasting brand partnerships, and develop DTC products.
