Shine Talent

Leading global Talent Management + Influencer Relations agency, Shine specializes in the online and social space. Working with brands and agencies, we create campaigns that are memorable and inspire consumers to take action. Jess Hunichen and Emily Ward are the co-founders of the multi-faceted influencer and PR agency, Shine. After launching Shine PR January 2015, the team quickly saw an opportunity to fill a void in the influencer landscape. In November 2015, Shine Influencers was born, built to serve as a resource for brands and marketing/PR agencies with one-on-one talent management and campaign strategy consulting. Building on the rapid success, the team has expanded to represent a powerful cross section of micro to macro social talent with offices in Los Angeles and Toronto. In 2021, Shine Influencers rebranded to Shine Talent Group to represent the evolution of the industry. Shine continues to strengthen its offerings by bringing on team members who are fully immersed in all things social, and both established and emerging talent to deliver impactful campaigns on and off line.
