Key Fact. Prodigy Agency has merged with international talent agency SEG to form a unified esports and gaming division.
Prodigy Agency, a Toulouse-based esports and gaming firm, has officially merged with the international talent agency SEG. This strategic consolidation aims to integrate resources, global networks, and specialized expertise to better serve a diverse roster of gamers, creators, athletes, coaches, brands, and game publishers. While the financial terms of the transaction between the two privately held companies remain undisclosed, the move is designed to create a unified esports and gaming division within the broader SEG organization.
The merger brings together two entities with significant footprints in their respective sectors. SEG maintains a global presence with offices in cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milan, and London, representing high-profile sports and entertainment figures alongside esports personalities. Prodigy Agency contributes its established reputation for securing major brand partnerships with companies such as Porsche, Nike, Adidas, and Sony, as well as its experience supporting prominent game titles and professional players.
Under the new organizational structure, Prodigy Agency founders Jérôme Coupez and Manon Lagarrigue will continue to lead the agency as CEO and COO, respectively. They will be joined on the management team by Rowan Stroo, the current Division Director of SEG Esports. The leadership team intends to leverage this partnership to bridge the gap between traditional sports and esports, positioning the combined entity as a leading agency at the intersection of these industries. The integration process will see SEG’s existing esports and creator divisions, including its roster of ESIC Certified Agents, fully absorbed into the Prodigy Agency framework.
