We’re sitting down with leaders on the business side of the creator economy to get their advice for creators looking to develop their careers.
This week, we spoke with Justin Miclat, the manager behind gamers like NICKMERCS and SypherPK. Miclat talked with us about the conception of his talent management firm The Kinetic Group, what he looks for in prospective clients, and what he thinks the future of the live streaming industry looks like.
Miclat has been working in the talent management world for about five years now. He grew up a huge sports fan, and, like many young people, he had dreams of going to law school to become a sports agent. Fortunately for him, he was able to pursue his dreams and get into the University of San Diego School of Law. There, he connected with an alumnus who managed some of the biggest athletes in the world. Miclat said he seized the opportunity and was able to work with them on social strategy and content development.
