EXCLUSIVE: Verve has upped coordinators Jessica Zou and Noah Liebmiller to Agents in the Motion Picture Literary Team.The agency, which has a tradition of surprising staffers with promotions, last week tasked Liebmiller and Zou with putting together a video as part of a signing exercise.

I understand they were told that the video was not only important but needed to convey the theatrical gravitas of the signing pursuit.

During a recent all-company staff meeting, the video was played to great reception and the promotions were announced by the co-heads of the Motion Picture Lit Team who reflected on how deserving both Liebmiller and Zou were of their new titles.Zou, who holds a Master’s in Communications from USC, began her career in the UTA mailroom before joining Verve in February 2020 where she worked for Motion Picture Lit Agents Pamela Goldstein and Sara Nestor.

Liebmiller, a Middlebury College graduate and another homegrown agent, joined Verve’s mailroom in 2018 before going on to work for Motion Picture Lit Agents Nicky Mohebbi and Parker Davis, and Founding Partner Adam Levine.“Noah and Jessica exemplify what it means to be an agent at Verve.
