Reality TV Influencers

Today we’re speaking with Courtney Bagby Lupilin of Little Red Management. Courtney Bagby Lupilin, the CEO and Founder of Little Red Management, is the go-to talent manager for reality TV stars from shows on ABC, CBS, MTV and Netflix including The Bachelor Franchise, Big Brother, Love is Blind, and the Circle. A true fangirl turned entrepreneur, Courtney merged her passion for reality television with her acumen for advertising, communications, and digital media honed at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She began her career in the corporate sector at Oracle in San Francisco, managing internal communications and events. But a yearning for the celebrity side of influencer marketing led her to Los Angeles where she diligently volunteered her time and built relationships within the reality TV world before taking the bold leap to launch Little Red Management in 2019 at the young age of 25. Courtney's approach to influencer and celebrity brand management is rooted in her extensive knowledge of pop culture, her ability to foster impactful brand and talent relationships, and her unwavering commitment to helping her clients achieve their dreams. Courtney has activated partnerships for huge brands including Disney, FOX, Hallmark, Nike, Adidas, Amazon, Dove, Lancome and more. Her passion for pop culture has been reinforced through her travels around the world, where she has discovered that music, TV shows, sports, and movies are the universal language that connects people from all walks of life. Courtney currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
