Universal Attractions Agency has promoted Mark Podolsky to the position of West Coast agent (capacity of 1,500 and under), based in the agency’s Los Angeles office. In his new role, Mark will take over the responsibilities previously held by Brian Lottermann, who was promoted in October to West Coast agent for casinos, fairs, and festivals.
With this promotion, Mark will serve as the primary agent for several artists, including Sugarhill Gang, The Furious Five, Nappy Roots, Luniz, and DJ Skribble.
On the promotion to agent, UAA General Manager Nick Martucci said: “Mark is a great example of the kind of long-term investment we believe in at Universal Attractions Agency, identifying early-career professionals with real potential and developing them through hands-on mentorship and real opportunity.”
“He started with us as an intern, grew into an assistant role, and earned his place as an agent trainee through talent, work ethic, and consistency. When the opportunity to add an agent to the team came up, everyone knew Mark would be a great fit. We believe in his drive and his future, and we’re proud of how far he’s come and excited to see the impact he’ll continue to make as he grows with us.”
Mark joined UAA in July 2023 as an intern and was promoted to assistant in January 2024. By late 2025, he had been elevated to agent trainee. Outside of work, Mark is an avid guitar player and has played in bands since his youth. He graduated from UCLA, where he majored in philosophy and was involved in the university’s a cappella groups.
