Rent an Agent
One month of personal guidance from Alma Ernst, one of electronic music's most experienced booking agents.
Most artists navigate the booking side of their career without a proper sounding board. They make decisions about fees, offers, and strategy based on instinct alone, with no one to reality-check their thinking.
Rent an Agent gives you Alma's direct perspective on your career: where you stand, what the market sees, and what to do next. It is not a course or a mentorship programme. It is practical, ongoing support from someone who is still doing this work every day.

How Alma works
Three areas of focusMarket perspective
Alma looks at where you currently stand: your fees, your positioning, your momentum. She gives you an honest read on what the market sees. Not what you hope it sees. What it actually sees.
Collaborative support
If you already have an agent or manager, Alma works alongside them rather than around them. Her role is to add depth and experience to what is already in place, not to replace it.
Industry introductions
Where it makes sense, Alma can connect you with the right people in her network: promoters, agents, and other professionals who are relevant to where your career is heading.
Who it's for
Artists at different stagesYou are building your career and need a clear picture of where to focus. Alma helps you understand the structure of the industry, how to position yourself early, and what to prioritise in your first years of touring.
You have ongoing work but want a sharper strategy. Alma reviews what you have built, identifies what is working and what is not, and helps you make more deliberate decisions about where your career goes next.
You want to break into new markets or take your career to a different level. Alma's experience across different scenes and territories gives you a realistic picture of what that requires and how to approach it.
What's included
Four areas of workOne-on-one sessions
Sessions are structured around your specific situation and goals. There is no fixed format. The focus is on what is most useful to you at that moment, whether that is a live review, a strategic discussion, or working through a specific decision.
Market and value analysis
Alma looks at your current market position: your fees, your bookings, your trajectory. She gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what would need to change to move forward.
Strategic planning
You leave the month with a clear plan: concrete steps, priorities, and a realistic picture of what progress looks like over the next one to two quarters. The two follow-up sessions are there to check in on that progress.
Industry connections
Where relevant, Alma makes introductions to promoters, agents, and other professionals in her network. These are considered and specific: not broad outreach, but connections that actually make sense for your situation.
