ICM'S GIBBS HEADS TO UTA

UTA continues its drive into Atlanta by naming music agent Robert Gibbs partner and co-head of the agency’s Atlanta office.

Most recently the head of Music at ICM Partners, Gibbs joins UTA Atlanta co-heads Rich Paul, Arthur Lewis and Steve Cohen to help grow the agency’s footprint in music, sports, film, fine arts, television, podcasts and more.

“Robert’s experience in the industry, combined with his enthusiasm to help us build in Atlanta, made him the perfect choice to join UTA and our leadership team there,” said UTA CEO Jeremy Zimmer.

The first Black department head of a major-agency music department, Gibbs managed ICM's global music division, working with J. Cole, Ari Lennox, PartyNextDoor and others.

New York-based music agent Kevin Jergenson and L.A.-based music agent Victoria Gutierrez will make the move with Gibbs. Jergenson’s roster included Kamasi Washington and Emotional Oranges; Gutierrez has worked with Rexx Life Raj, Odie and Kash Doll, among others.
