“It’s an absolute pleasure to work with the Central Talent Booking staff. They understand the business and how to create and maintain relationships with agents, managers, publicists, as well as the talent themselves. They are well-organized and prepared to do whatever it takes to secure guests across a variety of media platforms. They do a thorough, detailed job and always try to be sensitive to schedules, time/location constraints, and have strong communication skills. They make it a priority that all parties involved in the process are happy and satisfied with how an interview, personal appearance, or event turns out.”
