Talent booking for video.

While leading talent relations at theSkimm, Erika works on all stages of booking guests for various video franchises. She compiles in-bound talent pitches and out-bound talent ideas to present to the video team, making recommendations on talent to pursue based on buzzy projects, breakout stars or theSkimm audience’s interests. She maintains relationships with publicists throughout the booking process, from pitching and scheduling the recording, to staffing talent and acting as liaison between talent and theSkimm’s production team during office recordings or on location.

Since spring 2020, Erika has transitioned booked video recordings to remote recordings by successfully briefing talent teams on logistics and staffing the talent during the recording.
