Talent Assistant/Coordinator London, England
Job description
Insanity Group is a privately owned group of media companies operating from offices in London and Los Angeles. We represent top tier artists in the music, broadcast, live and ‘digital first’ markets; and operate a record label with Sony Music.
There’s something different about us and when people join us, it's the first thing they comment on. We do things differently and it’s not accidental. Some of our most successful colleagues started with us as an assistant. Some have been with us for well over 10 years! Our people are at the heart of our success. We have developed a strong culture of collaboration and best practice, with professional development and career planning at its center.

Our role is to empower our clients to tell their stories and our talent are at the heart of every decision we make. We break down barriers not afraid of challenge. We embrace tech, we embrace flexibility, and we collaborate. We are not afraid of risk, and we make bold decisions. We believe that building deep professional connections is the best way to do business, but we also believe that clients need to be protected and we aren’t afraid to do that either.
We also believe that the role of artist manager, record label and agent is changing. Our clients rightly expect more, and we love to impress. Our mission is to never get complacent, to lead the way and be a noisy, bold, ambitious, and ethical business that continues to turn heads.
