Managing Director Neil O’Brien said, “I formed my company in 2007, so I will be celebrating 18 years as a 100% owned independent this year, and I have always been proud of the range of artists I have had the good fortune to work with. Over the last few years, the company has gone from strength to strength, incorporating some incredible agents into what I do and signing some truly great artists. It felt like the right time to create a home where these artists are given the right attention and exposure. As the company grows, Motion Agency will be committed to continuing to develop artist careers, and I am confident the team of myself, Greg Woodcock, Jamie Kelly, Ross Leslie and Sal Ridsdale will be creating a home where our knowledge and understanding of our markets will benefit all of our clients. It is an opportunity to grow a brand dedicated to great rock n roll, soul, funk and rock genres.”
