Tiffany David, another executive with a history of working in branded entertainment and advertising, also joined the company in January. Schumacher and David joined the company at the start of what is expected to be a busy year, the former told us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">\u201cBrands are continuing to think more and more about how they can broaden their reach through entertainment and tell their story through the lens of culture, whether that\u2019s a content partnership or an experiential activation or a long-term partnership with talent,\u201d Schumacher told Marketing Brew, adding that the team is \u201canticipating more growth in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\"><strong>Nose to the grindstone:<\/strong> Before Schumacher joined UTA, he worked at Lyft, where he helped create its entertainment division in 2018. (Lyft was a client of UTA at that time.) After that, he served as Coinbase\u2019s first VP of brand, and he has been an advisor at companies including Kernel Foods, Dimo, and Faherty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"style__InlineSubscribeWrapper-sc-9efdcdad-1 iwvSXp inline-subscribe\">\n<div id=\"inline-subscribe\" class=\"style__RoundedContainer-sc-59d9816-0 hEwJGY\">\n<h5 class=\"inline-subscribe\">Get marketing news you&#8217;ll actually want to read<\/h5>\n<p class=\"inline-subscribe\">Marketing Brew informs marketing pros of the latest on brand strategy, social media, and ad tech via our weekday newsletter, virtual events, marketing conferences, and digital guides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">David, meanwhile, was a talent manager for comedian Craig Conant until January, and previously worked at the agency 1000heads, where she oversaw Google Pixel\u2019s creator advocacy program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">Schumacher and David will report to Julian Jacobs and David Anderson, who are both partners at UTA and co-heads of its entertainment marketing division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\"><strong>I\u2019m a Barbie girl:<\/strong> The new hires come amid continued interest in branded and brand-supported programming as Hollywood tightens its belt financially and as it emerges from a content void following the 2023 actors\u2019 and writers\u2019 strikes and pressure on the streaming side for their businesses to be profitable. \u201cIn the midst of chaos and the tightening, I think that we\u2019re seeing more streamers be open to co-creating with brands than ever before because of the budgets and because if the brand can come in and help,\u201d<em> <\/em>Jacobs told Deadline in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">After the success of titles like <em>Barbie<\/em>, brands have been increasingly interested in getting involved with Hollywood, Jacobs previously told Marketing Brew in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">Streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have also leaned into the branded content opportunity. In 2023, UTA\u2019s entertainment marketing division worked with Netflix to promote electric vehicles from its client GM in Netflix programming and in a Super Bowl ad. And last May, Amazon made its own push into branded content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingbrew.com\/stories\/2025\/02\/26\/united-talent-agency-entertainment-marketing-division?utm_source=&#038;utm_medium=syndication&#038;utm_campaign=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the demand for branded content in Hollywood continues to grow, United Talent Agency is building out its entertainment marketing division to support it.
