Talent and entertainment company United Talent Agency (UTA) has hired Vanja Primorac as an executive focused on Music Innovations. In this newly created role, she will identify and execute innovative marketing, distribution and platform partnerships to ensure the company’s global roster of artists are on the cutting edge of a constantly evolving music landscape.

Primorac added, “UTA is taking a holistic approach to their artist partnerships and I’m excited to start the next chapter of my career with the incredible team they have in place. It’s tricky to break through the noise in today’s competitive music landscape and together, we can develop innovative partnerships and campaigns that can move the needle.”
