Veritasium signs with A3 Artists Agency

Dr. Derek Muller, the science educator behind YouTube channel Veritasium, has signed with A3 Artists Agency for representation in all areas.

Muller is from Australia and currently based out of Los Angeles. He has a Ph.D. in physics education research from the University of Sydney and launched Veritasium in 2011 as a hub for educational science videos.

Veritasium—which has nearly 13 million subscribers—became well-known thanks in part to videos where Muller asked random members of the public questions about science and found out just how common some misconceptions are. Now, it offers a broad range of content, including experiments and interviews with experts.

Muller’s success on YouTube led him to gigs hosting documentaries like Vitamania and Uranium: Twisting the Dragon’s Tail, presenting Australian science show Catalyst, and secured him a spot as a correspondent on Netflix series Bill Nye Saves the World. He’s also hosted the Google Science Fair, the International Science and Engineering Fair, and the March for Science.

With Veritasium, Muller is a two-time Streamy Award winner (the Streamy Awards are put on by Tubefilter and dick clark productions) and has won the Australian Eureka Prize for Science Journalism, the Cogito Prize for Science Communication, and the Richtmyer Memorial Lecture Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers.

“We are incredibly thrilled to welcome Veritasium to the A3 family,” Robert Attermann, A3 Artists Agency’s CEO, said in a statement. “He is a best-in-class example of leveraging digital and social media to successfully educate and entertain millions of people. Our entire agency is excited to help him expand his already very impressive business.”

Muller was previously represented by WME.
