Exla Launches in Los Angeles as New Private Management and Influencer Marketing Agency

Exla, a private management company and influencer marketing agency, has announced its official launch. The agency was co-founded by 16-year-old entertainment marketer Saeed Tarawneh and George Apter, and provides private talent management and influencer marketing services for creators, brands, and film studios.

Exla operates as a private management platform for high-impact talent, creators, and modern brands, focused on strategic influence and content systems. Rather than running an open client roster, the agency works on a request-access basis, taking on a limited number of talent and brand partners through its website, exla.agency.

The agency's influencer marketing division is led by Tarawneh alongside his partner Lincoln Thomas, the YouTuber behind Linc Clan, whose channel has 1.8 million subscribers. Tarawneh and Thomas focus on influencer marketing for the film industry, connecting studios and upcoming releases with digital creators to drive audience discovery through social-first campaigns, creator partnerships, and community participation rather than traditional paid advertising.

The launch builds on Tarawneh's work in film marketing. He serves as Marketing Lead for Billy Knight, an upcoming Firebrand Media feature film starring Al Pacino, Charlie Heaton, and Diana Silvers. The film's social-first campaign has generated more than 35 million views across social media platforms ahead of its 2026 release, relying on creator-driven discovery and organic audience participation in place of conventional advertising spend.

Beyond his film work, Tarawneh has built a combined audience of more than 500,000 followers and over half a billion views across his own social media channels, collaborating with films, podcasts, athletes, and brands across industries. His experience growing digital communities has provided firsthand insight into audience behavior and engagement patterns among younger demographics, the insight that now shapes Exla's approach to campaign strategy.

With its launch, Exla begins accepting access requests from talent, brands, and studios at exla.agency.
