Mosaic Media Group

Mosaic Media Group was founded in 1999 by Eric Gold and Jimmy Miller, two highly respected talent managers who recognized an opportunity to create a management company specializing in comedy talent and content. The company's founding came at a time when comedy was experiencing a renaissance in film and television, and Mosaic positioned itself to capitalize on that cultural moment. From its inception, Mosaic combined talent management with production capabilities, allowing the company to develop projects specifically for its comedy clients. The company's early success came from representing some of the biggest names in comedy and producing commercially successful comedy films. Key milestones include establishing offices in both Beverly Hills and New York, expanding from pure management into major film and television production, and building relationships with all major studios and networks. Mosaic's production credits include major films like The Dark Knight and Step Brothers, demonstrating the company's ability to work across genres while maintaining its comedy roots.

Today, Mosaic Media Group operates from offices in Beverly Hills and New York, representing major comedy stars, character actors, writers, directors, and producers across film, television, and streaming platforms. The company's roster has included some of the most successful comedic talent in entertainment history, including Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Sacha Baron Cohen, and members of the Wayans family. Mosaic's market position is at the top tier of management companies, particularly within the comedy space where it is considered one of the most influential firms in the industry. The company's production arm continues to develop and produce film and television content, creating opportunities for clients and generating additional revenue streams. Mosaic maintains extensive relationships with studios, networks, and streaming platforms, giving clients access to the highest levels of the industry. The company's dual focus on management and production makes it a powerful force in shaping comedy content across all platforms.

Getting signed by Mosaic Media Group is highly competitive and typically requires either substantial comedy credits, a breakout performance, or a strong referral from industry insiders. The company evaluates potential clients based on comedic talent, market positioning, career trajectory, and alignment with Mosaic's brand and expertise. Industry referrals from entertainment attorneys, existing Mosaic clients, producers, or network executives are the most effective pathways to consideration. The company scouts talent at comedy festivals, stand-up showcases, improv theaters like Second City and Groundlings, and through comedy content on digital platforms. For actors, having a strong comedy background through sketch, improv, or stand-up significantly increases appeal to Mosaic. For writers, creating successful comedy content whether through scripts, web series, or produced work demonstrates alignment with the company's focus. Mosaic looks for talent that brings unique comedic voices and has the potential for breakout success.

Mosaic Media Group provides comprehensive career management services including strategic career planning, project selection guidance, complex deal negotiation, production company oversight, brand partnership development, and coordination with agents, publicists, and attorneys. The company's managers maintain relationships with studio heads, network executives, streaming platform decision-makers, and major producers throughout the entertainment industry. Mosaic's production capabilities allow the company to develop projects specifically for its clients, package talent with material, and create opportunities that might not exist through traditional representation. The company's expertise in comedy means managers understand the specific career paths and opportunities within that genre, from stand-up to sketch to sitcoms to comedy features. Mosaic coordinates closely with clients' theatrical agents to ensure all representation is aligned and strategic. The company's bi-coastal presence provides access to opportunities in both Los Angeles and New York markets, important for comedy talent working across film, television, and live performance.

Mosaic Media Group represents comedy talent across various career stages, though the roster is heavily weighted toward established stars and working professionals with substantial credits. The company's clients include stand-up comedians selling out theaters and arenas, actors starring in major comedy films and television series, comedy writers creating hit shows, and directors helming studio comedies. SAG-AFTRA membership is expected for working actor clients. While Mosaic may occasionally sign emerging talent with exceptional potential, the majority of the roster consists of comedians and actors with proven track records and industry success. The company's success stories include clients who have headlined billion-dollar comedy franchises, created groundbreaking comedy television series, won Emmy Awards for comedy performances, and sold out global comedy tours. Mosaic-represented talent has appeared in some of the highest-grossing comedy films of all time and starred in the most-watched comedy series across networks and streaming platforms.

Mosaic Media Group operates on standard management commission structures, typically 10-15% of client earnings depending on services provided. There are no upfront fees associated with representation. The company is transparent about its fee structure during the signing process. Commission is earned on booked, compensated work that the manager was involved in securing or negotiating. Mosaic works collaboratively with agents, attorneys, and other representatives while serving as a central strategic force in clients' careers. For comedy talent at the appropriate career level with professional credits and clear potential for high-level success, Mosaic offers extraordinary value through its industry relationships, production capabilities, and deep expertise in comedy careers. The company's track record of representing some of comedy's biggest stars demonstrates its effectiveness at building and maintaining careers at the highest levels.

Mosaic Media Group is ideal for comedians, comedy actors, comedy writers, and comedy directors operating at high levels or with clear potential for breakout success. The company is particularly well-suited for stand-up comedians transitioning into film and television, sketch and improv performers ready for professional representation, and actors with strong comedy backgrounds seeking to build film and television careers. Talent who thrive at Mosaic tend to have unique comedic voices, professional credits demonstrating their abilities, and the ambition to work at the highest levels of comedy entertainment. Mosaic is not appropriate for talent at the very beginning of their careers without professional credits or training. If your focus is primarily on dramatic acting without comedy elements, other management companies may better serve your goals. Talent seeking management for work outside of entertainment (such as pure stand-up touring without film/TV ambitions) may find more specialized representation elsewhere.

To get noticed by Mosaic Media Group, build a strong foundation of comedy credits through stand-up, sketch, improv, or comedy acting roles in film and television. Perform at respected comedy venues and festivals where industry professionals scout talent. Create comedy content for digital platforms that demonstrates your unique voice and can generate meaningful viewership. A referral from an entertainment attorney, producer, network executive, or existing Mosaic client is the most effective pathway to consideration. For actors, book comedy roles in film and television that showcase your comedic abilities. For writers, create spec scripts for comedy series or develop original comedy pilots that demonstrate your skills. Demonstrate professionalism, an understanding of the comedy business, and strategic thinking about your career. Present polished materials including performance footage, reels, or writing samples that represent your best comedic work. Mosaic can serve as a powerful long-term management partner for comedy talent, providing strategic guidance, industry access, and production opportunities. The ideal time to approach is when you have meaningful comedy credits, a developed comedic voice, and the momentum to support high-level professional management representation.
