FBI TALENT CO. is joining a stable of like-minded companies in sponsoring and supporting a 2025 LIA Judging and Creative LIAisons lunch during LIA’s 40th Annual event. LIA judging will take place from 25th September through 3rd October, with Creative LIAisons hosted in tandem from 27th September through 1st October at Encore @ Wynn, Las Vegas. LIA welcomes and funds a global contingent of 125+ emerging talents to Las Vegas for this educational initiative.
“The LIAisons program is a unique and amazing initiative. It’s such a rare and potentially career-defining opportunity for emerging talent to listen, learn and network with some of the best creative leaders in the industry. I’m looking forward to seeing it all first-hand again this year in Las Vegas,” says Kara Taylor, Managing Director (USA) at FBI TALENT CO.
The vision of LIA to develop, nurture and help bridge the gap between training and working began in 2012. Since the inception of the Creative LIAisons onsite initiative in Las Vegas, which does not charge delegates fees; more than 1,700 up-and-coming creatives have attended. There is no cost to the attendee or their company, as LIA funds their airfare and hotel accommodations. Attendees also have unfettered access to meet, mingle and connect with each other and other top creatives throughout the program during daily lunches and a networking event. LIA’s open-door judging policy is the most priceless experience of the onsite program. It gives every attendee a front row seat in the judging rooms during final Statue Discussions. No other global show allows that.
With LIA’s mission to develop, educate, inspire and nurture emerging talent, the LIAisons program aligns with how FBI TALENT CO. approaches their business of connecting world-class talent with creative companies globally. Based out of the USA and Australian markets, FBI TALENT CO., is a talent company that builds and nurtures long-term relationships with creative professionals and the businesses that need them.
“At FBI, we’re not just a creative recruitment firm; we’ve always had a focus on career development and management. We pride ourselves on being there for the talent we represent; whether as advisors, mentors or generally to help guide talent throughout their career, so we’re thrilled to be a sponsor for such a great initiative and continue our partnership with LIA,” adds Michael Kean, CEO at FBI TALENT CO.
Originally focused on the creative side of the industry, FBI TALENT CO. has evolved to meet the needs of an ever-changing marketplace over the past 30 years. Today, their global network of Talent Managers cover Creative, Creative Services and Design disciplines. Their success stems from the core belief that people and partnerships are more important than sales.
“This ethos permeates everything we do and it’s the reason people trust us with some of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make. Every member of our team is a specialist in their field, bringing deep knowledge and understanding of the industry to our work.” says Georgie McMaster, Creative Talent Director AT FBI TALENT CO.
