A New Era for River Talent Management
River Talent Management founders Sophie Gildersleeve and Kim Riley have announced the launch of BOOKED by River – a new division under the River Talent umbrella designed to connect brands with the most in-demand names across music and sport.
High-Profile Partnerships Already Live
BOOKED launches with major partnerships already underway, including Olly and Amelia Murs as Marks & Spencer’s Parenthood Ambassadors, and Perrie Edwards fronting CeraVe’s latest skincare innovation for L’Oréal.
Positioned as an extension of River’s established management business, BOOKED will focus on high-profile collaborations where leading talent and creative teams unite to create standout cultural moments.
Access to Global Talent Across Music and Sport
Through BOOKED, brands can tap into some of the most exclusive and high-profile talent in entertainment.
- Music: Niall Horan, Take That, Perrie Edwards, Olly Murs
- Football: Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Ben White
- Golf: Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose
By combining River’s proven management expertise with creative strategy, BOOKED offers brands direct access to talent partnerships that truly resonate with audiences.
“Brands are under more pressure than ever to cut through with talent in ways
that actually move the dial – not just familiar faces.” said Kim Riley, Co-Founder of River Talent.
BOOKED is about unlocking access and true collaboration with those names, from global music icons to the most talked-about players in sport, and pairing them with opportunities and teams that create culturally and audience-relevant content. Sophie and I have always thrived on joining the dots others can’t, and BOOKED is the formalisation of that: giving brands confidence they can not only reach the talent everyone’s chasing, but collaborate with them in a way that creates moments of true audience connection on a huge scale.
– Kim Riley, Co-Founder of River Talent
Bridging Entertainment and Brand Storytelling
With River’s growing reputation for connecting brand campaigns to top-tier talent, BOOKED formalises the agency’s expertise in bridging the gap between entertainment and brand storytelling. Creating a space where culture, creativity, and influence meet.
