How To Get Signed By An Agency 101

Interview with Kelly Tomlinson PollackGrowing up in Southern California, Kelly Tomlinson Pollack took an early interest in all things glamorous. After completing a bachelor’s degree in communications, she went straight to work for burlesque legend Dita Von Teese. In 2010, she was hired to work at the prestigious Starworks Artists agency, which represented the best of the best in beauty artists at the time. She spent the next few years honing her skills as an agent and developing a sharp eye for talent. Kelly quickly discovered that she had the natural ability to lead and an innate sense of what would make an artist successful in an industry that requires meticulous management of details and high profile relationships. In the fall of 2013, Kelly and her soon to be husband Benjamin Pollack, a graduate of the American Film Institute, launched Tomlinson Management Group representing a handful of hairstylists, make up artists and wardrobe stylists. Today it is a multi-million dollar corporation with a reputation as one of the most respected agencies for freelance beauty artists, offering artists a personalized management experience unrivaled in the industry. Kelly currently resides in Malibu, CA with Benjamin, their four-year-old son Bryce and two shihtzus, Monty and Max.https://www.instagram.com/kelly_tmgla/?hl=enhttp://www.tmg-la.com/https://www.instagram.com/tmgla/News from TheTease.comhttps://www.thetease.com/5-latinx-hair-brands-you-may-not-know-but-should/https://www.thetease.com/the-2023-met-gala-theme-will-honor-the-work-of-late-designer-karl-lagerfeld/https://www.thetease.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-surfer-curtains-hairstyle-thats-taking-over-tiktok/More from TheTease:Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease)Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ (KellyEhlers)Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig)Web: http://www.thetease.com/ (TheTease.com)Email: VolumeUp@TheTease.comCredits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.
