Diverse Talent Group Moves Into Top Ten Talent Agencies

Diverse Talent Group has proven itself to be a rock solid force in Hollywood as it holds the prestigious position of the world's 10th largest talent agency. In the new Talent Agency Rankings just published by the award winning Los Angeles Business Journal, Diverse Talent Group has again claimed its foothold among the top industry leaders.

Ranked 14th in 2002, the same year pacesetter Creative Artist Agency took the first position away from the iconic William Morris Agency, Diverse Talent Group moved rapidly up the ranks to the 12th position by 2004. It was in 2006 that Diverse first reached a milestone and made it into the top 10 out of more than 300 agencies.

The company was originally founded in 1982 as CNA & Associates; the Agency was later merged with Susan Sussman's Premiere Artists Agency and renamed Diverse Talent Group. The Company offers talent and literary representation in motion pictures, commercials, episodic television and cable programming, in addition to project packaging and distribution. With a roster of high-profile clients and a mix of developing prospects, Diverse Talent Group is a robust organization building on its foundation of talent-based commissions and television and film packaging revenues.

The start of the 2009 television season marks the beginning of a welcome industry turnaround, after last year's strike by the Writers Guild of America cut short the 2008 season. The industry publication Mediaweek(TM) reports that "premiere week was a good week for broadcasters, as viewers returned to network shows in large numbers." Diverse Talent Group currently has numerous actors with regular or recurring roles, as well as producers, directors and writers working on shows airing on ABC(Disney), CBS (CBS Corp), Fox (News Corp), and NBC (General Electric) as well as many other networks.
