James Burns

I’ve been with Bright since 2009, initially in the UK and then leading our US office from 2014. My role as Global MD sees me overseeing all our divisions and working to create new opportunities for our artists. As an advocate for traditionally marginalised voices and the LGBTQIA+ community, I’m naturally drawn to creative work that truly owns its style and delivers a strong message. That combination of personal ownership and powerful messaging is what captivates me. A proud advocate for traditionally marginalised voices and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, James is naturally drawn to creative work that reflects ownership of style and has strong messaging behind it. As Global MD, James oversees the overall working of the agency, all of Bright’s divisions and strives to drive new opportunities for all of our represented artists.
