In May, Verve became the biggest agency to sign the WGA’s new Code of Conduct, which bans TV packaging and agency-affiliated production, allowing it to resume representing its writer clients and land high-profile new ones including WGA Agency Negotiating Committee members John August and Meredith Stiehm.
While agreeing to forgo packaging on scripted projects in order to get franchised by the WGA, I hear that in the two months since signing the code, Verve has been actively pursuing package fees on unscripted shows.
One example is an unscripted series project starring Ken Fulk, a high-end interior designer/event planner and Verve client, which is in the works at independent company Critical Content. The project, which I hear is in talks with Bravo, was created by David Metzler (Catfish) as part of his overall deal at Critical Content as a 50/50 package between Wme and ICM Partners, which rep Critical Content and Metzler,...
