Gersh has acquired A3 Artists Agency’s digital and alternative departments.
As part of the deal, 25 agents and 45 additional staffers will move to Gersh under a new standalone digital business. For the new setup, Jade Sherman will run the department, heading things up as senior partner and chief of digital. Gersh’s existing alternative department will now be led by A3’s Alec Shankman, who joins as senior partner and head of alternative, working alongside senior agent and partner Debra Goldfarb.
Other senior A3 agents moving to Gersh include Keith Bielory, Mark Turner, Melissa DeMarco, Sam Schmidt, Marienor Madrilejo, Jared Thompson and Matt Sorger, among others.
This A3 deal marks the agency’s first M&a move since receiving a significant equity investment from Crestview Partners last year and shows the agency’s focus on expanding its unscripted and digital footprints.
“We are incredibly excited about this area of growth for Gersh.

Less than a month after a lawsuit was filed against the chairman of A3 Artists Agency seeking to block its sale, rival Gersh says it has closed a deal for the digital and alternative departments of the talent firm.
Some forty five staffers — twenty five of which are agents — will move over to the Beverly Hills-based Gersh as part of the agreement, bringing the total number of employees at the agency to around 350, with about 125 agents.
“The combined resources and expertise within the agency will unlock unparalleled opportunities for our clients,” said Bob Gersh, David Gersh and Leslie Siebert, co-presidents of Gersh, adding, “A3’s leadership team cultivated two outstanding departments. Their demonstrated success quickly positioned them as compelling additions to the agency.”
