Founded in 2010 and acquired by UTA in Feb. 2019, DBA now reps roughly 180 influencers with a reach of roughly 400 million fans. The company also operates a Digital Brand Products (DBP) division for merch, as well as the female-focused podcast network Dear Media.

“Hilary distinguishes herself every day through the clients she passionately represents, the reputation she has earned, and her leadership in our industry,” Flaherty said in a statement. “She has made substantial contributions to the growth and evolution of DBA and we are fortunate to have her join as a partner as we continue to lead and innovate in the space.”
