William Morris Endeavor (WME), an entertainment talent agency with offices in the US and London, has signed Cape Town-based Triggerfish Animation Studios as one of its representations. The agency represents artists and content creators across various media platforms including film, television, music, theatre, digital and publishing.
Currently developing their third animated feature, Sea Monster, Triggerfish is known for producing successful animated features (Adventures in Zambezia, Khumba) as well as US and South African versions of Sesame Street. WMA will offer Triggerfish access to valuable networks as well as opportunities in advertising, marketing and brand integration.
Stuart Forrest, CEO of Triggerfish, recently returned from meeting with the agency in Los Angeles and concluded: “In an industry that relies deeply on relationships, having access to high-level networks is a big breakthrough for a company like ours who have been working in relative isolation for so long. We’re moving into the next phase of our long term strategy and for any globally-focused company, it’s all about having access to the very best relationships in the business.’
