Our Story
York & James was founded in October 2015 by Tyler Evans. Just six weeks after welcoming her first child, James, Tyler was presented with an opportunity to start her own talent agency.
While the timing of this was precarious, Tyler’s passion for building brands and turning her clients vision(s) into workable realities provided her with the ambition she needed to forge forward.
In 2019, Meg Blank joined the team, bringing her background in PR to the company. Her knowledge and experience working with consumer brands offered a unique opportunity for York & James clients. Since inception, York & James has prided itself on relationship management both with their clients and with brand partners. Megan’s background further supported our ability to develop mutually beneficial partnerships and project opportunities for Y&J talent and the brands we work with.
As the digital landscape continued to grow and evolve, York & James identified a need for dedicated project coordination and was thrilled to welcome Maggie Eisenhardt to the team in 2021 to oversee this responsibility.
