At just 26, Alyssa Walker has already made her mark in the talent management and influencer space – and now, she’s taking the leap into running her own agency. Based just outside of London in Essex, Alyssa is the founder of Beyond The Agency, a newly launched talent management company with a mission to put talent first.
Alyssa’s journey began straight out of university with a 2:1 in BSc Psychology. While her degree path initially hinted at a different career, her love for all things YouTube and social media quickly led her in a new direction. An internship in talent management opened the door to the industry, and from there, she went on to work at some of the biggest agencies in the UK.
After five years honing her craft in talent management and influencer marketing, Alyssa decided it was time to go solo. In May 2025, she officially launched Beyond The Agency – and just three months in, she already manages a roster of ten exclusive creators.
“I created Beyond because I believe talent deserve more from their agency,” says Alyssa.
“More respect, more support, and more genuine connection. I wanted to build a space where talent feel truly heard, valued, and empowered.”
The agency’s ethos centres on long-term relationships and a hands-on approach, ensuring creators not only secure brand deals but also feel supported in their personal and professional growth.
Reflecting on the agency’s first quarter, Alyssa says:
The last three months has been nothing short of incredible. I am over the moon with the amount of support we’ve received and I will be forever grateful to my talent and clients for putting their trust in me. The last few months has already been super exciting and I can’t wait to see what the rest of 2025 holds.
