Echelon Talent Agency Rebrands to Echelon Artists, Expands with New Team Member and Office Move to MediaCityUK

Echelon Talent Agency, based in Manchester, UK, is proud to announce its rebrand to Echelon Artists, marking a bold new chapter in the independent booking agency’s evolution. Launched in October 2019 by co-founders Liam Spencer and Stephen Moss, the rebrand aligns the company’s identity with the values of innovation, creativity, and collaboration that underpin the groundbreaking alternative artists it represents.

Alongside this exciting rebrand, Echelon Artists is expanding its team with the addition of Kieran Murphy, who joins the company as a junior agent. Kieran’s role will support the growth of the agency and further strengthen its dedication to delivering exceptional live strategies for its roster of talented musicians.

In addition to the rebrand and new hire, Echelon Artists is also pleased to announce its relocation to a new office in MediaCityUK, the entertainment hub of Manchester. The move reinforces the company’s roots in the North of England and provides a state-of-the-art workspace to support the agency's ambitions for the future.

“We’re excited about this new chapter for Echelon Artists,” said Liam Spencer. “It has been a challenging few years since the pandemic, which paused our business almost immediately after launching. However, the growth and success we’ve experienced since then made it clear that the time was right to rebrand and build an even stronger connection between our identity and the incredible artists we represent. The move to MediaCityUK and the addition of Kieran to the team are pivotal steps in ensuring that we can continue to support and nurture the careers of the next wave of rock and metal talent. It doesn’t matter where an artist is in their career, our passion for continuous growth is stronger than it has ever been.

Stephen and I are incredibly proud to usher in this new era for Echelon Artists, as we continue to push the boundaries of what we can achieve for our artists.”

Echelon Artists remains committed to providing tailored, innovative live strategies for their roster of artists, with a renewed focus on growth and opportunity within the rock and metal genres.

The agency’s roster includes the likes of All That Remains, Massive Wagons, Nekrogoblikon, As Everything Unfolds, The Dangerous Summer, Incantation, We Lost The Sea, Lake Malice, Party Cannon and Venus Grrrls.

Echelon Artists has achieved huge success in placing their artists on the biggest festivals in the world including the likes of Wacken, Download, Reading/Leeds, Graspop and Hellfest. The agency has also delivered multiple sold-out tours for the best up-and-coming alternative bands, earning multiple Heavy Music Award nominations along the way.
