EXCLUSIVE: Jessie Blackhall has joined Untitled as a manager based in the New York office.
Blackhall comes over from Aperture Talent, a subsidiary of Wilhelmina International, where she spent the past decade building and leading the talent agency across its New York and Los Angeles offices, spearheading the development of Wilhelminaâs digital and creator division.
Blackhall brings with her clients including Barbie Ferreira and Shay Sullivan, among others. Sheâs the third in a string of recent talent, creator, and crossover management hires at Untitled, following Alyssa Manning and Dani Jacobson, as the company continues to expand its capabilities in the space.
Blackhall, who began her career at CESD, told us: âIâm incredibly excited to be joining Untitled Entertainment at such an exciting moment for the company. Iâve long admired Untitled as one of the leading forces in talent management, with an incredible reputation and a forward-thinking approach. Watching the companyâs growth and expansion over the past few years has been exciting, and Iâm thrilled to be part of that momentum.â
The Untitled Partners commented, âJessie has spent the past decade building something from the ground up, and that experience gives her a perspective that is both rare and incredibly valuable. She understands what it takes to identify opportunity, earn trust, and create an environment where talent can grow. Weâre excited for the perspective sheâll bring to Untitled as we continue to grow our creator and crossover business and expand our presence in New York.â
The last couple of years have been a time of major expansion and evolution for both Untitled and Initial Group, the TPG-backed global entertainment company, which snapped up the company as a foundational acquisition in 2024. Grandview came to operate under the Untitled banner that same year, and Initial has since further expanded with the acquisition of Silver Tribe Media â now Initial Digital â plus a strategic investment in music management company Good World Management, and the acquisition of Brookside Artist Management, whose Emily Gerson Saines joined Untitled as a partner. The company announced the promotion of six to partner in August.
