Meet the team

Alex Cole

Alex founded Elevate Entertainment in 2009 following a decade of working in representation and production. Prior to beginning his career as a manager, Alex discovered the lack of creativity in the relationship between talent and their representatives while working as an actor himself. It was this realization that has made him such an effective manager for his roster of clients. Helming from the UK, Alex has brought on clients from across the globe and represents an array of talent ranging from up-and-comers to major television stars to Oscar nominees. Alex continues to serve as Elevate Entertainment’s President and is thrilled to be ushering in a new development and production slate for the company.
