Hi, I’m Jamie Henshall. When I started washing pots at 15, I had no idea where that path would take me.

By 18, I was already working my way up the ranks in professional kitchens, a kid raised by a strong single mother, trying to find his place in the world. Kitchens became my classroom. I watched world-class chefs operate with precision, creativity, and discipline. What fascinated me most wasn’t just the food — it was how they built their names and their careers.

Over the next 16 years, I worked in kitchens across the world, building my craft and confidence along the way. Eventually, that curiosity led me somewhere new: storytelling.

Driven by passion

I fell in love with production, content and film while creating my own documentary. That project pushed me from the kitchen to the camera — both behind it and in front of it. Over the next decade, I worked with incredible chefs, producers and brands, which eventually led to building my own agency,TNM Creative Media.

But through all of this, one thing kept appearing again and again:
talent needed better support.

Chefs, creators and storytellers often signed contracts that didn’t serve them. Deals lacked transparency. Brands struggled to find the right voices. Creators didn’t always have the production, strategy or business guidance they needed.

In truth. TNM Talent had already been happening for years.

On the table are various ingredients, including broccoli florets, lemon halves, chopped green vegetables, dried herbs, crushed red pepper, and bottles of beverages.

We were already bringing people together.
Already producing campaigns.
helping talent negotiate fair outcomes and tell meaningful stories.

TNM Talent exists to connect real talent with the right brands without the bullshit.

We’re not about locking creators into management contracts or taking huge cuts.
We believe in transparency, communication and doing great work together.

Here’s how we approach it:

The creator gets paid fairly.
The brand understands exactly what they’re investing in.
TNM supports the partnership with strategy, production, contracts and campaign execution.

All the talent has to do is show up ready to perform and together we deliver something special.

Over the years we’ve produced hundreds of shoots, built campaigns, and created a community around food, creativity and storytelling.

And if you’re a creator who believes you have something real to share, we’re here to help you bring it to life.

Because at TNM Talent, it all starts the same way it always has:

With hard work, great stories, and people willing to show up.
