Jennie Church-Cooper launches management and production company Hello Sailor Media, expanding representation across film, TV, podcasts and digital

The new company, created by veteran manager-producer Jennie Church-Cooper, will represent comedians, actors, writers, directors and multi-hyphenate creators across multiple formats, according to an announcement reported by Deadline.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Jennie Church-Cooper, a veteran manager and producer known for working with multi-hyphenate comedic talent, has launched Hello Sailor Media, a new management and production company designed to represent creators across film, television, podcasts and digital media, according to an exclusive report from Deadline published August 5, 2026.

Deadline reported that Hello Sailor Media will work with comedians and other screen talent as well as writers and directors, and that the company’s roster will include multi-hyphenate creators who develop work for multiple platforms. The announcement positions the company as both a management operation and a production partner, with Church-Cooper serving as the central executive behind the launch.

The report describes Church-Cooper’s background in talent management and production, including her experience with comedians who operate across writing, performing and other creative roles. Hello Sailor Media is presented as an extension of that model, focused on creators whose projects can move between traditional scripted entertainment and newer formats such as podcasts and digital series.

In its announcement, Deadline said the company plans to “champion” underrepresented voices while also working with both emerging and established talent. The details provided in the report emphasize the company’s stated creative mandate and its intended coverage of a wide range of professional experience levels, rather than naming specific projects or productions tied to the launch.

The company launch adds to the ongoing reshaping of talent representation and content development in Hollywood, where management firms increasingly combine traditional booking and career guidance with production services intended to bring projects through development, packaging and distribution. Hello Sailor Media’s stated focus on multiple media types reflects that shift, according to the framing in the Deadline report.

Deadline did not specify, in the account summarized in its exclusive report, a list of Hello Sailor Media clients or a schedule of near-term productions. The company’s first steps, including which projects will be announced publicly next and how it will scale its management bench, were not detailed in the report.

For now, the practical impact of Hello Sailor Media’s launch will depend on how quickly the new company identifies and develops projects across the platforms it covers, and whether creators represented by Church-Cooper expand their work into new production formats. The next publicly documented milestones are expected to come through announcements of client signings, deals and project development updates, in line with typical industry practices for new management and production firms.

Why It Matters

  • New management and production companies can influence which creative projects get developed, packaged and advanced across multiple platforms.
  • Hello Sailor Media’s stated cross-format scope, including podcasts and digital media, reflects how creator careers increasingly depend on work that can move beyond traditional TV and film pipelines.
  • The company’s public emphasis on representation and underrepresented voices may affect how creators seek representation and partnership structures in a competitive market.
  • Because the report did not identify near-term projects, the next disclosures of client signings and development activity will be key to assessing Hello Sailor Media’s immediate industry impact.
