MEET BROOKE

As Founder and Executive Producer of BEAM Artists, I manage a roster of commercial photographers and motion artists, translating complex creative briefs into actionable project plans, coordinating cross-functional teams, and ensuring campaigns launch on time, on budget, and aligned with strategic goals.

My approach sits at the intersection of creative vision and operational strategy. I design scalable workflows, track milestones, manage capacity, mitigate risks, and maintain alignment across marketing, creative, and production stakeholders. I also mentor and guide multiple artists simultaneously, helping them develop professionally while ensuring high-quality creative output.

Previously, I founded Tidepool Reps, a boutique creative agency and artist management company, where I led multi-project pipelines, negotiated contracts and usage rights, and partnered with agencies and brands to bring ambitious campaigns to life.

I thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments where priorities shift quickly and the stakes are high. I’m energized by projects that combine strategy, creativity, and flawless execution, and I’m passionate about empowering creative teams to deliver exceptional work while meeting business objectives.

I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years, and I love it to this day.

My agent ethos is, I have always believed it's possible for artists to remain true to their creativity and still thrive commercially.

AT THE HEART OF IT ALL

MY WHAT

I believe it's possible for artists to remain true to their creativity and still thrive in the commercial world. Collaboration is key for that to be successful, and BEAM is a curated group of totally amazing humans who embrace being a team.

I also believe with a full heart that being kind and successful aren't mutually exclusive, and the pulse of our business is gratitude.

MY WHY

I have over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of production and creativity. I am encouraged every day by repeat clients that respect my commitment to conducting business with grace and enthusiasm. I am excited to connect you to the roster I am always raving about, and we are ready with creative solutions to produce your next campaign effortlessly, safely and FUN, too.

IN 2000 A FRIEND INTRODUCED ME TO A FORM OF WORK THAT WOULD CHANGE THE REST OF MY LIFE

Thanks to fellow Santa Fe Workshops Alumni Aaron Deemer, I was fortunate to be introduced to and hired by Arlene Johnson who was a rep in San Francisco. She trained me from the bottom up, and taught me everything about grace when she supported the evolution of Tidepool Reps. New friends in the business, office mate Kathryn Schiff and I took a chance - on each other, and on this career path. It took months to find the right artists, even more to get ourselves organized, and a couple of years living off credit cards to break even. Some years after that Kathryn followed her intuition onto her path as a Spiritual Teacher, Energy Healer, Psychic Meditation Teacher and Minister. I encourage you to visit Ground and Gold to explore the vibes going on there, they are phenomenal and humming.

Tidepool grew out of our shared vision that artists can be true to their own vision and still thrive in the commercial world. 

The first artists we signed felt edgy and unique, and we nurtured that, promoting their relevance. There were some bumps along the way, learning what to promote and how to edit. Knocking on doors around the country has always been exciting, but our enthusiasm for the work hasn’t always been matched. Today, the roster, in my opinion, has evolved into the strongest group I have seen. Never more in harmony with each other, within our own commercial ecosystem, and completely thriving in the commercial world. I am so thankful to everyone who supported our beginnings, grateful for every failure and success (truly), and excited for the next decade. The last 20 years gave me the foundation needed for this next chapter.
