Paradigm Talent Agency is an American full-service entertainment agency with offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Monterey, Nashville, San Diego, Oakland and Chicago. Paradigm Talent Agency has over 300 agents representing clients in television, music performances, motion picture, theatre, book publishing, digital, commercial/voiceover, content finance, media rights, brand partnerships and beyond.
Sam Gores, Chairman and CEO, opened his first agency, SGA Representation, Inc. in 1986. SGA acquired The Jack Fields Agency and changed its name to Gores/Fields. The agency expanded further the following year, bringing ATM & Associates into the fold. During the years 1992 and 1993 Gores forged pacts with STE Representations; Robinson, Weintraub, Gross & Associates, and Shorr, Stille & Associates to create Paradigm Talent Agency.
The agency's Beverly Hills office is located on the old MCA Inc. campus built in 1932 where conference rooms honor Jules Stein and Lew Wasserman, who occupied the space.
In 2004, Paradigm acquired the literary firm Genesis and the Writers & Artists Agency. The acquisition added a dozen agents and also brought a potent TV client list including 24 creator/executive producer Joel Surnow and Two and a Half Men co-creator/exec producer Lee Aronsohn to Paradigm.
Paradigm made a major strategic move in 2005 by acquiring Monterey Peninsula Artists, the premier independent music agency, and followed up on that gain in 2006 by acquiring New York based music booking agency Little Big Man. Expanding their footprint in the music industry, in 2008, Paradigm acquired Ellis Industries, a leading independent music agency based in New York, and in 2009 acquired Third Coast Artists Agency, the largest independent Christian Music agency, which was headquartered in Nashville.
