XYZ Graphics and Deborah Ayerst Artists’ Agent Form Strategic Partnership to Further Expand Their Businesses
September 01, 2009
XYZ Graphics, a leading creative service, image creation and post-production studio, today announced a partnership with Deborah Ayerst as their first outside artist agent. “As XYZ continues to promote our creative service suite of CGI, photography and retouching, the added fire-power of Deborah Ayerst, a seasoned artist agent, will be a welcomed complement to our in-house account team,” said Steve Waterloo, President of XYZ. “Deb’s stellar reputation in the business made her the obvious choice when we decided to look at outside representation.”
Deborah Ayerst started Deborah Ayerst Artists’ Agent in 1986 and since then has continued to represent some of the most innovative and award-winning photographers and media artists in the country. Her love of photography and new media and her commitment to the integrity of the process has made her indispensable to all she works with. Her national & international client list is long and impressive, some of which include: Levi’s, Apple, Nike, Sony, Purina, Target, and Eli Lilly.
“I am excited about the opportunity to represent a forward-thinking company like XYZ,” said Ayerst. “The hallmark of my representation has always been to be associated with artists and entities on the cutting edge of “what’s happening next”, particularly in emerging media markets. This has allowed me to partner with some incredible creative pioneers, and in XYZ I get both.”
Ayerst, a graduate from University of California, Berkeley, works out of her beautifully restored 1864 Federal-style carriage house in San Francisco; but you are just as likely to see her in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York or wherever the opportunity will take her.
