Talent agencies aren't just publicist houses anymore as clients no longer are seeking representation just to help land a movie or TV role. They're looking for expertise in what Brent Weinstein calls the "digital space," a vast area that includes online entertainment, social media, video games and the practice of digital consulting. As head of digital media at United Talent Agency, one of the largest such firms in the world, Weinstein is responsible for a portfolio that also doesn't resemble the past. Alongside the traditional clientele of actors, writers, directors and recording artists are emerging technology companies and corporate brands in a variety of industries, including intellectual property, computer and video games and entertainment marketing.

From UTA's offices in Beverly Hills and New York, Weinstein and his team often forego the glitz and glamor of Hollywood to work with companies ranging from early-stage startups all the way up to large public and private corporations. The man who started UTA's broadband division in 2006, immediately making the agency a pioneer in this area, recently shared his thoughts on the convergence of technology and entertainment.
