Who we are
The people connecting
brands & creators
It started in 2020 when we saw something was missing. If celebrities had talent agents, why shouldn’t social-first creators? We knew talent was being held back because they had too much to manage. Admin. Contracts. Negotiations. They didn’t have the time to simply do what they love – create content.
So we fixed it. And, in 5 years, we went from a startup with 10 creators on our books to a full-scale talent agency with 150+ social-first creators. Today, we give creators a new kind of freedom. They’re free to create content. Free to flex their creativity. Free to design their future and earn a living from their passion.
And, by sticking to what we’re good at, we’ve become the UK’s fastest-growing social-first agency, taking brands and talent to the top with us. Come along to create a future you’re obsessed with.
Design a future around your passion. We’re a full-service talent management agency providing support for creators to earn a living off the back of their own brilliance.
From personalised management to brand partnerships, content strategy and career development, you get a driven, agile team supporting your growth. We’ve helped our creators get life-changing gigs with brands like Disney, ASOS, Sony, Paramount, L’Oreal and more.
We know all about the struggles on the way to the top, too. So we offer mental health and financial support, and operate an “always-open” door policy.
Forget what you know about marketing. Today, brands grow at the core of creator culture and we’re exploiting that. In a big way.
At Connect, we craft game-changing, social-first strategies and scroll-stopping content. We began as a talent agency, so we’ve got unmatched insights into what works – to shape our strategies and keep your brands ahead of the curve.
With a diverse roster of talent – from athletes to comedians and beyond – we’ve got a creator for almost every brief. So, whatever your goals, we’ve got every angle covered. Just call us your all-in-one social powerhouse.
With Connect, you get the speed and scale most other agencies can’t keep up with.
Benjy Leslie is the founder and CEO of Connect Management, the UK’s fastest-growing, social-first talent management agency.
He founded the agency in September 2020, at just 21 years old, after recognising a major gap in the industry. If celebrities had talent agents, why didn’t social-first creators? He saw firsthand how talented content creators were being held back; not by a lack of skill, but by the overwhelming demands of admin, contracts, and negotiations. They were too bogged down to focus on what they do best: creating content.
So he fixed it. And, in 5 years, Connect went from a startup with 10 creators on its books to a full-scale talent agency representing the biggest names across sport, fashion, comedy, entertainment and other key industries. Today, Benjy leads an agency of more than 40 staff and over 150 creators signed exclusively to Connect's books. Benjy also sits on the Children in Need Commercial Advisory Board as its youngest ever member.
In just under four years, Connect Management has become one of the UK's biggest creator representation companies, working with several well-known clients such as Google, Amazon, Netflix, Sony and PepsiCo, and boasting an impressive roster of social-first talent, including Europe's largest VFX artist Brandon Baum, Eurovision star Sam Ryder, and Lucy Bronze, England Lioness, and UEFA Women's EURO 2022 winner.
We build strategic connections between the world’s biggest brands and the world’s most relevant social-first talent.
