About
Three13 is an influential figure management agency founded by Marcus Delgado, a Detroit native with deep roots in the city's creative, culinary, and cultural communities. Our intention is simple: give exposure and help promote local Detroit figures — influencers, artists, creators, chefs, musicians, and makers — and connect them with businesses looking for authentic, homegrown talent.
We essentially help our roster find deals and sponsorships with brands. From paid content partnerships and product collaborations to long-term ambassadorships, event appearances, and licensing opportunities, Three13 acts as the bridge between Detroit's most compelling personalities and the companies that want to reach their audiences. We negotiate, we strategize, and we protect the creative integrity of every figure we represent.
Detroit has always been a city of makers — from the Belleville Three who invented techno to the designers, painters, chefs, and content creators reshaping the city's identity today. Three13 exists to make sure those people get seen, get paid, and get the opportunities they deserve. We believe local talent shouldn't have to leave Detroit to build a career, and we believe brands shouldn't have to look past Detroit to find world-class collaborators.
We Scout
We identify photographers, painters, DJs, chefs, fashion designers, muralists, influencers, and culture-makers across Metro Detroit who are doing real work.
We Connect
We match our roster with brands, businesses, and campaigns that align with their voice, audience, and creative direction — brokering sponsorship deals and partnerships.
We Elevate
We manage contracts, negotiate terms, and build long-term career strategy so our figures can focus on creating while we handle the business.
