agent and client theme

Featured is the relationship between a client, and someone the client has enlisted to act as their agent, more or less formally on an extended basis. Notably, this type of relationship is found in the entertainment industry, for example, when an actor hires a personal talent agent to find them jobs.

Notes

This theme is used only if the expressions of the relationship go beyond what is required and expected in such a business arrangement. I.e., it is used if some familiarity and intimacy is noted, but not if the interaction is merely formal and transactional.
