WGM Atlantic presents a story about people and what we can build together.
Representation is personal. It starts with getting to know the person. What excites you? What could we build together?
2015. Founded in Manchester. Shared ambition. Honesty. Belief.
London followed in 2016. That same year, our literary division began, championing screenwriters and the stories they imagined for television and film.
2019. The New York office. Across the Atlantic.
A question should feel welcome. An idea should have space to be explored.
Then came books. New voices. Entire worlds between two covers. We began helping authors find their publishers, and their stories find a place in readers’ lives.
And the possibilities grew. A manuscript could become a series. An idea could find its collaborators. We began opening new conversations around original stories, bringing writers, producers and creative partners together to explore what those stories could become.
The work reaches further. Client credits across Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV and Paramount+.
Talent from around the world. A personal approach. An international reach.
“In the end, we’ll all become stories.” Margaret Atwood, Moral Disorder.
On screen: What will yours be?
WGM Atlantic Group. Proud to stand alongside them. Talent. Stories. Opportunity.
WGM Atlantic Group
When someone asks us, “What’s the plan?”, our first step is to understand theirs. What work do you want to make? Where would you like your career to go? What matters to you along the way?
We give those conversations time. Every person arrives with different experience, ambitions and priorities, and those differences should shape their representation. Together, we develop a career strategy around your strengths, your position in the industry and the opportunities you want to pursue. As your career evolves, that conversation continues.
Fuelled by copious amounts of coffee and an enthusiasm that tends to arrive before the working day begins, we bring energy and warmth to everything we do. We care about the people we represent, take pride in their work and enjoy being part of their lives. There is room here for big ambitions, honest conversations and a sense of humour along the way.
02 / OUR VISION
Our vision is to build an agency where talent, stories and opportunity can grow together.
Room to evolve.
A career can take you somewhere you never expected. An actor may have a story to write. A screenwriter may see a world beyond a single series. An author may imagine their book on screen. We make room for those ambitions, helping our clients explore what comes next and find the people who can help make it happen.
Our work connects personal representation with career strategy, project development and the commercial potential of stories. Across the UK and internationally, we build relationships with producers, publishers and creative partners, looking for the right home for each project and opportunities that make sense for the person behind it.
We think carefully about the longer term: the roles our clients take, the collaborators they work with and the audiences they want to reach. Success means different things to different people. Our job is to understand what it means to you and bring energy, judgement and ambition to pursuing it together.
As our reach grows, we want the relationship to stay personal. New territories and new possibilities should bring our clients more opportunity, with the same openness, honest advice and care that brought us together in the first place.
Our ethos
Representation
is personal.
You are trusting someone with work you care about and a future you have invested in. We take that seriously.
Our relationships are built on shared ambition, honesty and belief. We take the time to understand each client’s individuality and develop a creative direction together, recognising that careers rarely follow a straight line. There are breakthroughs, quieter chapters and unexpected changes of course. Our commitment extends through all of them.
Communication is central to that commitment. Whether it is a conversation over coffee, a quick voice note or a more difficult discussion about what comes next, we want our clients to feel comfortable speaking freely. A question should feel welcome. An idea should have space to be explored.
We bring that same care to the business: preparing a pitch, negotiating an agreement, making an introduction or recognising when a project needs a different approach. Timing matters in this industry, and when an opportunity calls for action beyond the usual working day, we understand the importance of being ready.
Above all, we remember why the work matters. A performance can offer someone a moment of escape. A book can make them feel understood. A story can change the way they see their own life.
Behind every pitch, meeting and negotiation are people creating those moments. We are proud to stand alongside them, and grateful to share the adventure.
