UTA promotes seven agents to expand creator division leadership

The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin reports that UTA has promoted seven agents within its Creators division, with revenue there tripling over the past five years, as the agency expands into new lines of business, New York and U.K. operations, and sports creators via Klutch Sports.
