WME’s mission⁄purpose is to represent and showcase artists from all facets of the entertainment industry, including motion pictures, television, music, theatre, digital, publishing, lifestyle, and physical production and advise some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands to create ʺentertainment-based marketing solutions.”
