• The massive WME agency has elevated Lucy Dickins to Global Head of Contemporary Music and Touring. In her newly expanded role, Dickins will oversee all aspects of WME’s Contemporary Music and Touring business across Beverly Hills, New York, Nashville, London and Sydney.
“Lucy is a dynamic leader who brings strategic vision, energy and passion to every artist and colleague she encounters,” said Lloyd Braun, Chairman of WME and President of Endeavor Client Group. “Lucy is the ideal leader to guide WME’s contemporary music business as we continue to expand our offerings and opportunities for our clients.”
Dickins, who recently re-located to WME’s Beverly Hills office from London, joined the agency in 2019 from ITB. Since her arrival, she brought in powerhouse clients and solidified WME’s standing as the leading music agency in the UK.
