Two Top Pacific Northwest Agencies Team Up
After nearly 30 years of servicing clients in the Pacific Northwest, talent agency Sports and Lifestyle Unlimited, known as SLU, is joining forces with fellow market leader The Option Agency. Option, a boutique model management team started 15 years ago, now becomes one of the biggest model/talent agencies in the USA with their purchase of the industry trailblazer notable for their lifestyle and athletic brand focused roster. The union extends Option’s offices to Los Angeles and Miami, furthering their already expanding regional and national reach.
Nina McLaughlin, Agency Director/Owner of Option, expressed that the acquisition now puts the agency in a favorable position to better service their clients and talent in an increasingly competitive arena. “We aim to be the best resource for brands to find a highly diverse board of models and talent to deliver on the various projects they are working on; whether it be show, print, narrative, or commercial, our committed group of experienced agents and talent will provide them with a myriad of options.” The Option Agency is a model/talent management agency encompassing dedicated print and on-camera divisions, representing nearly 2,000 models and actors across three locations.
