Verve Promotes Olivia Ghersen And Isaiah Williams To Agent
deadline.comVerve has upped coordinators Olivia Ghersen and Isaiah Williams to Agents in the Television Literary and Motion Picture Literary teams, respectively.
The agency continued its long-running tradition of surprising staff with promotions by enlisting Ghersen and Williams to run the all-company meeting on Monday morning and, when the time came for their usual reporting section, the team heads – Felicia Prinz, Chris Noriega (TV Lit), Liz Parker, Parker Davis (MP Lit), and Melissa Darman who created and oversees the Agent Trainee program, ran through their accomplishments and professional highlights.
