About Us

The Spotlight Agency is on a mission to connect our celebrity talent and clients to create authentic work with impact. We represent celebrities from entertainment, sports, food, décor, and more, and unite them with brands, digital content, film, and television.

Our story

Learn how we started, and what sets us apart from other celebrity agencies.

In 1995, Martin and Farah Perelmuter took an entrepreneurial leap of faith. They launched our sister agency, Speakers Spotlight, out of their spare bedroom, armed with only one desk, one phone, and one computer. They had no clients, experience, staff, or money, but they had a clear vision. Since then, Speakers Spotlight has grown into one of the world’s largest and most respected speakers agencies in the world. With the best team in the industry, and an incredible roster of speakers, they are proud to have raised the bar of professionalism, service, and business integrity to a new level.

What sets us apart

The Spotlight Agency has a unique philosophy for our business that is the foundation of our work.
