About Us
Talents Alive is The Premier full-service creatives' management organism that is facilitating clients with the processes needed so they ultimately realize utmost potential. We are dedicated to providing our Talent Clients (TC's) with effective personal, marketing & business management that is readily accessible. Talent Clients (TC's) signing on to us do so to be & to do the best they can. That means Talents Alive fulfilling-ly harnesses the TC's creative prowess, societal influence, & fiscal profitability, while at the same time striving for positive returns on investment by stakeholders.
Together with our clients & other stakeholders in this Talents Alive's bandwagon, we solidly progress towards an inviting horizon characterized by: A reputably low client turn over, then a high client head count; TC's who are time & again drafted higher than projected; Managers, agents & promoters being paid top dollar; The very best staff; Pioneering systems in this unique industry; Formidable relationships amongst & between our clients & staff; Strategic win-win alliances with the elite individuals & Corporates in different fields.
Our History
A former Media Producer & presenter in Nation Broadcasting Division, as well as a one time Head of Radio at TBN Family Media, Talents Alive Founder & Creatives Manager, Eric Gitau (Maq C) has had several clients – (individuals & Corporates) sample & benefit immensely from his personal management & consultancy services since 1999. As an individual entity, he has offered such services ( personal branding, strategic marketing plans, media liaisons, sponsorship location, financial planning, event planning, management & hosting, etc ) to a couple of industry practitioners.
Remember that old axiom: Speak the truth & shame the devil? Well, agents, managers & promoters don't have a very good appeal in the industry and beyond… the few there have been have ended up appearing in highly publicised cases of illegal conducts. These few “bad apples” have given such a negative sentiment to the whole business of Talent management and representation. It is widely viewed as an occupation for corrupt & unscrupulous actors who take advantage of amateur/professional creatives in favour of their own proprietary self-interest.
Much as protecting oneself from the claws of these warped individuals & tainted agencies is a noble & understandable disclaimer, a creative practitioner who will do & be the best they can, will not preclude the services of an honest, integral, professional talent manager by his/her side. A redefiner by design, Eric set out to give a whole new meaning to, & refine this already abused & misused industry. Taking this as a positive challenge, Eric first formed Creatives Management Agency (CMA) in 2004. Based on unfolding insight, and a resolute to bring a new order in this highly fretted field, CMA later beget Talents Alive.
Personal Relationship – Our Custom
Talents Alive is the organism that is sincere about the phrase “our clients are our top priority.” We guarantee each TC with such unmatched attention by being committed to knowing him/her as a as a person living on mother earth, not just as a Talent; but a human being with unique dreams, fears, tears, challenges, etc…
It is that intimate personal relationship that is the foundation of the strong professional partnership we strive to develop with our TC's. This eventually yields to tailor-made services designed to meet the unique personal & professional needs, desires & objectives of Individual TC's. To that end we are very selective during our TC acquisition process.
Relational Values
Communication is our Executive/Talent relationship lifeline. With Talents Alive, the TC can count on knowing the status of their career, not speculating or being left in the dark. We expect the same from our TC's: vital information, as it unfolds. If you are not being actively & regularly informed of what steps are being taken on your behalf, then you are not being managed & represented effectively. On the other hand, if you are not feeding us with all key details & at times even the “seemingly unnecessary info” , then can you honestly demand/expect effectual management & representation from us?
Commitment, Integrity, Loyalty & Trust are more than just words for us to use in a sales pitch. These are the tightening bolts of our relationship culture.
Our Business Approach
We pay cognisance to the centre of our business relationship being the TC's mission and outlook. Thus, we approach the TC as the CEO of his/her company. All Talents Alive does is geared towards facilitating him/her to make the final decisions regarding his/her career. We empower the TC with “paradigms,” “info,” “options” & “musts” that will assist him/her reach his/her goals.
It can be viewed from an organization standpoint that, to the TC, Talents Alive is like “a company's general manager” or even better, “a product's brand manager” . The TC (read CEO) realizes that as a company/brand, both his/her routine & rare logistical issues are the forte of the GM, who will handle them ethically, legally & professionally. The TC (read product) understands that as a brand they are subject to be moulded & formed into a marketable & profitable product.
This Executive/Talent mutual understanding, appreciating & establishment of well-defined yet organic relationship roles is our key to long-term successful client management & representation.
