Talent Firm Glossary Artists Names Talent Director, Signs Beauty Creator Ashley West

Published on October 30, 2026

Glossary Artists, the independent talent management firm founded by former TalentX and YMU Entertainment executives, promoted Emelia Azma to Talent Director, a newly created leadership role, and signed beauty and lifestyle creator Ashley West.

Azma was previously a Senior Talent Manager at the firm. In her new role, she will oversee junior staff and work across a broader range of verticals while continuing to manage clients including Carli Bybel, Christen Dominique, Mariale Marrero, Griselda Martinez and Sir John.

West, who posts as @southernwestsunshine, has more than 1.5 million followers. Glossary said the signing is part of its effort to expand its representation of culturally influential creators.

The announcement also covered projects from existing clients. Hannah Kosh has launched a podcast, “Oh My Kosh with Hannah Kosh,” as part of the TikTok Podcast Network, a partnership between TikTok and iHeartMedia. The series premiered October 28, with new episodes released on Wednesdays. iHeartPodcasts produces and publishes the show.

Keltie Knight, a three-time Emmy Award-winning television personality and author, is starting an 18-city book tour this fall for her forthcoming book, “The F*Them Theory.” Each stop will include a book talk and Q&A with a celebrity moderator. Moderators include Holly Madison, Christina Perri, Ciara Miller and Kaitlyn Bristowe.

“We’re incredibly proud to see Hannah and Keltie continue to expand their creative reach in meaningful ways,” said Managing Partner Deanna Ritter. “Both milestones reflect the power of supporting talent as they bring their ideas to new audiences and build opportunities that extend beyond traditional platforms.”

“We pour a lot of our brand expertise into developing unique and authentic IP with our clients from the ground up,” said Managing Partner Vanessa DelMuro. “Creators are no longer just influencing consumer behavior; they’re shaping industries and building brands with real staying power.”

Glossary Artists launched in March 2026 and operates in Los Angeles and Miami. It represents talent across beauty, fashion, food, lifestyle, gaming, sports, and industry professionals.
