WME Streamlines Motion Picture Lit and Talent Departments, Promotes Will Ward to Lead Fashion

WME has made a number of promotions as the agency streamlines its motion picture literary and talent departments under the leadership of Andrew Dunlap, Doug Lucterhand and Sarah Self.

Under the new structure, motion picture lit and talent will operate as a unified Motion Picture division. WME’s Literary Media and Production departments will also formally become part of the expanded Motion Picture department.

On the TV side, Erin Junkin adds television talent to her remit as she continues to co-lead the scripted TV department with Tom Wellington.

Will Ward will advances to Head of WME Fashion, overseeing IMG Models, The Wall Group and Art + Commerce. Ward will also remain the leader of WME’s Brand Partnerships division. Rebecca Sanhueza, who had headed fashion for the agency, will shift her focus serving as president of Pantheon Media Group, which focuses on unscripted content, but will continue to serve as a strategic partner for WME Fashion.

In London, Romola Ratnam has been elevated to the new post if head of the office, overseeing operations and strategic direction. She also oversees WME Group’s Impact, Inclusion and Advocacy teams.

The goal behind the changes was to better coordinate activity and communication among departments that naturally work closely together. It’s a sign that the businesses of representing talent and lit clients across film, television, fashion, brand partnerships and emerging entertainment platforms has become more complex and cross-discipline than ever before.

“These leaders have set the bar for excellence and embody the collaborative spirit that sets WME apart,” said Christian Muirhead, co-chairman of WME Group. “Aligning our teams this way will make us nimbler, sharper and better equipped to spot what’s next for our clients as the industry continues to evolve,” said Richard Weitz, WME Group co-chairman.
