Podcaster and media entrepreneur Alex Cooper has left United Talent Agency (UTA) to join Creative Artists Agency (CAA), according to Bloomberg. The move comes as she plans to expand her media company Unwell into a larger media powerhouse with a $500 million valuation. Cooper's decision to join CAA is likely due to the agency's strong focus on creators and increasing prominence in the industry.
The agency has been positioning itself as the top choice for creators at the peak of their career. Unwell, co-founded by Cooper and her husband Matt Kaplan, has seen significant growth over the past three years with successful ventures in podcasting, film, and television productions. Despite these achievements, the company has faced controversies, such as allegations of creating a toxic work environment and a public feud with former employee Alix Earle.
Despite these challenges, Cooper remains optimistic about Unwell's future, with plans to announce several scripted projects in the works.
