About Hallbrook

Founded by an agent who got tired of waiting for callbacks.

Dana Hallbrook left a large agency in 2014 with eleven clients and a simple belief: nobody should wait three weeks to hear about an offer. Today she leads a team of six agents who take fewer than five new clients a year.

A decade of small, personal representation

  1. 2014

    Eleven clients and one desk

    Dana Hallbrook opened the agency from a rented office on Sunset Boulevard with a landline and a spreadsheet of directors.

  2. 2017

    First series regular

    Priya Raman became the agency's first long-running television lead, and the team moved into a suite with room for five.

  3. 2020

    Business affairs in house

    We hired our own entertainment lawyer, so every offer is reviewed without waiting for an outside firm.

  4. 2023

    Creators join the roster

    Online creators with large audiences joined, along with a dedicated brand partnerships desk.

  5. 2026

    Thirty-eight clients

    A deliberately small roster with agents who still answer calls on Saturdays.
