An agent is someone who is solely focused on getting you performance-based booking opportunities, and is exclusively finding and booking jobs. An agent is typically taking 10% - 20% commission on the total earnings of any job secured for you. An agent is also part of a larger talent agency and will have industry connections.
A talent manager is someone who is holistically working on strategy alignment and balancing all of the facets of your brand or business. A manager helps to define your brand, image, and marketing. A manager helps secure other other relationships with agents, lawyers, publicists, etc as needed to fulfill your strategic needs. A manager will typically take 15% - 20% of your earnings and has similar connections that an agent would.
