Recording Artists

Artist & Repertoire (A&R) is not what it used to be. The days when artist were groomed to become the mega stars they knew they could be, no longer exists. Stars used to be trained on how to look, how to act, where to be seen and whom to be seen with. With the ever evolving responsibilities of the major record labels, artists are expected to do this on their own.

The Image Cartel can help. Embracing the concept of Motown, we can act as your personal A&R team, helping you develop strategic plans for shaping the most viable image and garnering the greatest visibility needed to increase your stardom.

Athletes

You’ve spent the majority of your life dedicating yourself and time to conditioning and training to become the professional athlete you are today! Now that you have made it into “The Professional World of Sports,” everyone is expecting you to know how to play the corporate game. But wait, no one has taught you how to play that game and it certainly was not in the play book.

You are expected to dress, act and behave a certain way, speak publicly at media and community events, position and align yourself with the right people so you can get the product endorsements you deserve.

The Image Cartel can help you learn the tricks of the trade and develop and polish your image so that you can solidly plant your feet and make your mark in the world as the elite and memorable athlete that you are.
