WildKat has opened a new office in Hamburg, marking the company’s fifth location globally and reinforcing its commitment to combining local expertise with an international outlook.
The culturally vibrant Hanseatic city joins WildKat’s roster of offices in London, Berlin, Paris and New York, and represents a homecoming for Founder and CEO Kathleen Alder.
“Hamburg is a culturally rich city with significant relevance as a centre for arts, media and music, as well as politics,” Alder says. “It felt as though this was the right next step for the company’s expansion, and I am proud to have an office here, especially as Hamburg is the city I was born in.”
Alongside the expansion, WildKat has welcomed several major new client signings, including conductor Eun Sun Kim, violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen, soprano Golda Schultz and tenor Benjamin Bernheim. They join a growing portfolio of recent additions from the worlds of film, stage and cultural promotion, including Cate Blanchett, Dirty Films, RADA and Initiative Musik.
This coincides with strategic restructuring across the international agency, including leadership changes: Laure Ugolini becomes Director in Berlin, and Hannah Goldshlack-Wolf now leads operations in North America from New York.
As WildKat enters this exciting new phase, the company also bids farewell to Olivia Brown, who left in early May after playing a pivotal role in the agency’s growth as Managing Director.
“Olivia has been instrumental in shaping WildKat into the agency it is today,” Alder notes. “Her unwavering support allowed me to balance the challenges of building a business while becoming a mother to two children—something I could not have done without her by my side. The saying ‘it takes a village’ rings especially true, and Olivia has been an integral part of mine.”
With a strengthened leadership team, an expanded client base and a new Hamburg home, WildKat looks ahead to its next chapter—international, collaborative and open to
new ideas.
