UTA partner and chief communications officer Richard Siklos is exiting the agency.
UTA CEO Jeremy Zimmer said in a memo to staff that Siklos is leaving “to pursue new opportunities,” and that he will stick around for a transition period while the agency searches for a successor.
“Over nearly three years, Richard has reimagined how we tell the UTA story globally as we’ve rapidly moved into new business areas and expanded our footprint into the UK and Europe,” Zimmer wrote. “He helped us navigate through a remarkable period of transformation for UTA, leading the communications strategy across multiple acquisitions, launches, business issues, and executive appointments. He deepened our relationships with key press, upgraded the comms team, and elevated all the ways we tell our stories – and celebrate our many wins – both internally and externally.”
Siklos, a former journalist for The New York Times and Fortune, previously worked in comms at Time Warner, and later served as VP of communications at Netflix, before exiting in 2021. He joined UTA the following year.
“I am grateful to Jeremy Zimmer, David Kramer, and Jay Sures for everything we accomplished over the last three year,” Siklos said in a statement. “I came to UTA at a pivotal period in its global growth and transformation and was fortunate to build and work with an extraordinary communications team. While I have decided it’s time for something new, I remain in awe of and inspired by UTA’s Partners whose dedication, tenacity and passion for artists and artistry is unbounded.”
