Longtime client Priyanka Chopra Jonas has built one of the most successful global brand portfolios in entertainment, alongside a dynamic film and television career spanning both Hollywood and international projects. In a recent cover story for ADWEEK’s Cannes Issue, the publication explored how the actress, producer, investor, and entrepreneur has leveraged her cross-cultural appeal, authenticity, and influence to become one of the most sought-after partners in luxury marketing. Over the years, UTA has had the privilege of growing Chopra Jonas’ brand business, helping shape her rise as a leading force on Madison Avenue and the global stage. Together, we have brokered a range of landmark partnerships across the luxury sector that underscore her unique ability to connect brands with both Western audiences and India’s rapidly expanding luxury market—projected to reach $90 billion by 2030, according to P&C Global. At the same time, she has continued to expand her footprint in film and television, building a slate of global projects that reinforce her standing as a creative force both in front of and behind the camera.

We were thrilled to host a special screening of the Deadhead documentary “Summer Tour” for our clients and friends in New York City. Produced by our clients at King Bee Productions—led by Emily Mortimer, Alessandro Nivola, and Lizzie Nastro—the documentary follows young Jerry and Annie as they chase Dead & Company’s final 2023 tour in a well-worn camper van, organizing their lives around the music with singular intensity. Rolling Stone Co-Editor-in-Chief Shirley Halperin moderated the Q&A featuring Mortimer, Nastro, director Mischa Richter, and producer Chloë Sevigny. UTA's Head of UTA NYC, Partner, and Co-Head of Entertainment Marketing Julian Jacobs, clients Cory Michael Smith and Jack Dylan Grazer, and more were also in attendance. “The film is a beautiful escape into another world. It’s a love letter to the Dead but I think also to anybody that loves filmmaking,” Sevigny says. Mortimer adds, “I hope audiences leave feeling that it is still possible to go out and have an adventure—it’s still possible to escape.”
