Thinking Machine, the comedy-centric commercial production company founded by the award-winning directing duo Docter Twins, has signed two new representation partners. On the West Coast, the company is now represented by Katie + Co, a talent agency and network for producers and creatives.
In Texas, Thinking Machine has aligned with AG Reps, the director/Editor/animation/composer management company founded by Alyson Griffith.
“As we expand our roster and grow our reach, we decided to sign with two of the most hard-working talent execs in the business,” said Alon Simcha, Executive Producer at Thinking Machine. “Texas is a fantastic, always-evolving market and Alyson really has her finger on the creative core of the business there. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Katie Ward is an inspired collaborator, with a great network of relationships and the inventive mind of a fellow creative. We’re excited about how both of these new partnerships will help us grow.”
“I was so excited when Thinking Machine’s executive producer Alon Simcha reached out,” said Alyson Griffith of AG Reps. “We’d worked together several years ago and I was thrilled to hear about his alliance with the Docter Twins. I’d followed them for quite some time and knew they were always putting out fresh, innovative work with a real sense of originality. After reconnecting with Alon and diving into Thinking Machine’s uniquely curated roster, it just felt like a great fit for me and the Texas market. I can’t wait to connect their creativity with the incredible community here.”
“Thinking Machine’s directors have a rare gift for uncovering authenticity in everything—finding the truths that make you laugh out loud or ache with feeling,” said Katie Ward, founder, Katie + Co. “Katie + Co is thrilled to amplify that blend of humor and heart, connecting them with agencies and brands excited for work that truly resonates. Together, our goal is simple: to bring more laughter, love, and humanity into the ad space.”
