Approach & Philosophy
Star Makers appears to operate a compact, high-touch model, concentrating on a small number of senior Argentine players rather than a broad mass-market roster. Public reporting also suggests an active cross-border strategy, leveraging relationships in Spain and the Americas to place clients into competitive sporting projects.
Fees & Transparency
Representation must be based on a written agreement and follows a client-pays model as the general rule. FIFA’s published guidance also outlines service-fee caps: typically 5% when annual remuneration is ≤ USD 200,000 and 3% when above that threshold, with a higher combined cap allowed in permitted dual representation scenarios.
For Star Makers specifically, no public commission schedule, dual-representation policy, or expenses policy was found in open sources.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No official agent sanction record found in open sources
Litigation / disputes: Clear, no verified court outcome about the agency itself found in open sources.
Media sentiment: Mixed to negative in some Argentine coverage, including critical characterizations of negotiation tactics; limited neutral/positive long-form profiling found beyond lifestyle coverage.
Awards/recognition
No publicly disclosed industry awards found for the agency or founder in open sources.
