Been a while since somebody did this, and I'm sure things have changed. But it may be good to have a list. Of the larger management companies, which have the most pull? Anyone care to hazard a list so they can hear how wrong they are from everyone else?

Re: Management Rankings
I was being serious, so I guess I'll hazard how I see it shaking down, at least in the top tier(s)
1. Management360
2. Mosaic
3. The Gotham Group
4. Principato/Young
5. Industry Entertainment
6. Benderspink
3 Arts should be in there. I know they're great with talent/comedians just not sure lit.-wise

Re: Management Rankings
In no particular order, other than when they pop into my head...
COC, Film Engine, Energy, Manage-ment, Anonymous, Industry, Benderspink, 360, Mosaic, 3 Arts, Principato Young, Brillstein, etc
I mostly think of the names of what managers are there and how well they do. I can't speak on the size and pull they have in the industry.Quack.

I'm sure there are several in the 15-20 range that I forgot. And obviously there are younger companies with less total deals but who are really kicking ass, or boutique places with less total deals (5-15) but some awesome spec sales, so yadayadayada.

Re: Management Rankings
Don't judge the perceived success of a management firm by their spec sales. While there's some correlation, the biggest represent clients who are on A and B lists of OWA. And that's where there's consistent work. For many of these large firms, they use spec scripts as a way to introduce a new writer to the marketplace and/or re-introduce a writer in a genre/brand that they are not known for. So for them, selling a spec (while important) is not the end game.
And the biggest ones like 360, Anonymous, Brillstein, etc. have an in-house talent of writers, directors, and actors where they can put together a package. And again, these won't make the trade as spec sales necessarily.

Re: Management Rankings
I think the real way to rank managers - one manager from each house goes into the Octogon... and at the end of an hour the only survivor steps out.
This is why I want to be repped by Chuck Norris.
