Celebrity talent casting, music supervision, and IP licensing for global brands and advertising agencies. Based in Los Angeles, working worldwide since 2010.

Celebrity Talent Casting

Identifying and securing the right talent for a brand campaign is the central creative decision. Polite Company provides end-to-end celebrity talent casting for advertising campaigns, branded content, and brand partnerships — from candidate identification and outreach through contracting and campaign integration.

Recent work: GMC Hummer EV, Walmart × Free Assembly, Equinox

Talent Procurement & Negotiations

From first approach to final deal, Polite Company manages the full talent procurement lifecycle — negotiating directly with talent representatives, agencies, and management on behalf of brands and their creative partners. Agreements are structured to protect creative intent and commercial value.

Recent work: Johnnie Walker — The Vault, New York or Nowhere × SNL 50

Music Supervision

The right music transforms a campaign from noticed to remembered. Polite Company supervises music for brand advertising, branded content, and cultural activations — guiding song selection, creative direction, and the full synchronization process from brief to final delivery.

Recent work: Equinox, De Beers

Music Licensing & Sync Clearance

Licensing music for commercial use requires clearing both the sync right and the master right. Polite Company handles sync licensing and master rights clearance with publishers, record labels, and rights holders globally — including original music commissioning when existing tracks won't fit the brief.

Recent work: JW Blue Label × Honey Dijon, De Beers

IP Licensing & Clearance

Brand campaigns often involve intellectual property beyond talent and music — trademarks, creative works, and third-party assets that require formal clearance before a campaign can go live. Polite Company identifies, evaluates, and secures the IP rights needed to bring a campaign to market cleanly and without legal exposure.

Recent work: JW Blue Label × Priyanka Chopra

Brand Partnerships & Collaboration Strategy

The most enduring campaigns are built on genuine cultural alignment. Polite Company develops and structures brand partnerships between companies and artists, athletes, and cultural figures — matching intent to talent, and managing the relationship from concept through execution.
