I would highly recommend 86 Talent
Sarah has been a brilliant partner of ours this year, going above and beyond for us and has just been an absolute pleasure to work with. The roster at 86 Talent has proven incredibly relevant for us, building some great relationships this year, with some really high quality and authentic content that has resonated really well with our audience. We have also leant on this roster for last minute event needs, and the roster has not only delivered, but Sarah’s speedy organisation has meant success after success.

I could not recommend the 86 Talent team and their incredible roster of creators enough!
From a brand perspective I could not recommend Mel, Sarah and the 86 talent team and their incredible roster of creators enough! They are incredibly flexible, responsive (at any time of the day) and an overall joy to work with! I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting Mel, and several of the creators we work with and their passion for creating the best content shone through. I couldn’t be prouder of the content their creators have produced for us as a brand, and would encourage anyone to check out their agency and creators!

86 Talent is a proudly female-led agency
Founded by Melissa Ritchie — a former content creator and qualified solicitor — 86 Talent was built on the belief that influencers deserve informed, transparent representation. Melissa’s legal background and personal experience in the industry laid the foundation for an agency that truly understands both sides of the collaboration. Supported by a growing team of five successful, social-savvy women, she created The 86 Team to raise the bar for influencer talent management.
