ICM Partners Hires Trio Of Agents & Promotes A Fourth

ICM Partners has hired Hilary Baum McQuaide, Rebecca Ewing and Taryn Ariel as agents in three different departments and promoted a fourth, Katie Kolben, to agent status.

McQuaide, formerly a partner at Skouras Agency, has been hired in the Motion Picture Production Department. She joined Skouras in 1995, launching the commercial department, and was promoted to partner there in 2003. She is bringing with her clients including cinematographers Gyula Pados (Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials), Salvatore Totino (Everest), Matthew J. Santo (Girls) and John Lynch (Powers) and production designers Anne Ross (The Bling Ring) and Tom Foden (Self/Less), among others.

Ewing joins the Motion Picture Literary Department from Intellectual Artists Management, where she managed writers and directors. Before that she was a UTA agent for six years. Ariel, previously a comedy agent based in APA’s New York office, has been hired as a talent agent focusing on comedy development.

All three agents will be based at ICM Partners’ LA offices.

Kolben joined ICM Partners in 2011 from N.S. Bienstock in an expansion of the agency’s International Television and Media Department in New York.
