Not only are they professional and very hands-on with me as their talent, the owner is a working model/actor...that makes a huge difference to me because she knows exactly what is going on in the industry, understands the ups and downs and can directly relate to what I experience. Anytime I have questions or concerns, they don't hesitate to respond quickly and I love that they take the time to send group emails with all sorts of information, from workshops we can sign up for to discussion about important topics related to auditioning, keeping our profiles current, etc. Although I am a veteran, I wish I had an agent that took the time to break down the way things work when I first started so I know the roster of newbies at KIT are not only getting opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have access to, they're getting an agent who wants to educate them to ensure they succeed. I've never had an agent who worked so hard for me and who cares so much...with get togethers, holiday parties and other gatherings, KIT wants to be more than just an agent with a bunch of people on their roster. It really does feel like a family and I look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come. Highly recommend!

The management is fantastic, but they could definitely use a fresh rebranding. Their social media…read moremarketing could use a modern update. They focus on youth, and a new touch on social media will help them reach a wider audience. The current branding feels a bit outdated. They should also consider rebranding the name. It seems like they specialize in more than just "Talent". The legacy of Schuller and the name of Schuller should stay, but they need a modern marketing approach to attract the young generation. I hope they could take this in consideration

SAG will pull a franchise license for wrongdoing and the biggest wrong any professional representative can do is take funds from talent above the 10% permitted by law. PLEASE research which firm you are talking to or about before posting a fraudulent review. Media ArtistS Group is NOT Media Artist Group and it's criminal that that "management" company is doing damage to the good and hard earned name of another agency. SHAME ON THEM!

I've been living & trying to act in LA for 7 years. I've spent countless time, energy & money…read moresubmitting to agencies & managers and, in turn, have had some very interesting, pointless & waste of my time meetings & phone calls. I've signed with agencies that promised me things that they never even came close to fulfilling. I've been given the run around by so many people in the industry who claimed they 'know' what they're talking about and promised to jump start my career within a year or less, promised to land me roles on 'insert current popular show here'. I've gone to casting workshops, I've taken 8 years of acting classes, I've gotten new headshots over & over & over & OVER again. Anyways, my point is to let YOU, whoever is reading this, know that I've experienced pretty much any kind of crappy situation this industry can throw at you when it comes to trying to secure decent representation. Janine is nothing like the above scenarios I mentioned. She doesn't promise anything but to work hard for you & believe in you & your career. She's actually unlike any manager I've ever met in this industry. She has morals. She doesn't believe in taking money from her clients unless it's a percentage off of a job that she actually helped you book. She is supportive & encouraging. She submits you constantly & spends countless hours on phone calls to CD's, pitching her clients. She takes any meetings she can & is constantly networking to try & meet more people who may possibly be able to help her clients get work. Not only is she extremely professional as a manager but she also takes a general interest in you & cares for you as a person. She has never treated me as a number or made me to feel 'beneath her' or 'a waste of her time' like so many in the industry do. Each of her clients are treated by her as an individual who matters. She sees your potential as a person, as well as an artist. Trust me, if you sign with Janine, you'll be signing with a manager who sticks by you through thick & thin. She's awesome!
