Wall Of Entertainment Signs With WME After Opening LA Arm

EXCLUSIVE: Wall Of Entertainment, the UK-based digital studio, social agency and talent management firm, is stepping up its ambitions in the U.S.

The company, which was founded by Percelle Ascot and Joivan Wade, has signed with WME for representation after opening its first LA office.

WME will work with the firm across digital, brand partnerships and non-scripted. 

Wall of Entertainment is behind viral series such as Does the Shoe Fit, The Pink Courtroom and Shiro’s Story and has amassed over 12 billion views across more than 100 original shows. It has worked with companies including Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Marvel Studios, McDonald’s and the NBA.

Jonny Paterson, the former Confluential Films VP, joined the company as Head of Development and heads up the new LA office alongside Wade, while Ascott will continue to lead the London HQ.

Wade said, “The creator economy is expanding faster than ever, and Wall of Entertainment has been at the forefront of it in Europe for over a decade. We’ve built a blueprint for youth-led, culturally resonant storytelling and creator-led IP that meets the moment, and the opportunity to now scale that foundation in the US is incredibly exciting. With WME’s support, we’re ready to elevate the next wave of digital talent and bring our vision to a global stage.”

Ascott added, “Culture is moving faster and wider than ever before, and social content has become one of the most powerful ways we communicate globally. Wall of Entertainment was built on understanding that language and creating work that speaks directly to the communities shaping it. Expanding from London to LA is about taking that same blueprint and scaling it. Building sustainable platforms for creators and continuing to bridge audiences across continents. With WME behind us, we’re excited to push this vision further than we ever have.”
