DALLAS, TX.- Heritage Auctions announced that Julia Lauren Batlle has joined its Entertainment department as Director of Client Relations and Business Development in the company’s Beverly Hills location.

Batlle arrives at Heritage with nearly seven years of experience from William Morris Endeavor in Los Angeles, where she most recently served as Chief of Staff for the agency’s Talent Division. In that role, she managed client relations for A-list film and television stars, oversaw high-profile brand partnerships with Cartier and Prada and led cross-departmental initiatives designed to optimize operations and elevate client success.

Batlle is a graduate of Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with minors in Arts Management and Italian. Her early career experience in public relations, editorial writing and event management, including roles at Jackson Public Relations and D Magazine, further shaped her commitment to arts and culture.

“Julia brings energy, precision and a strong sense of collaboration,” says Joe Maddalena, Heritage’s Executive Vice President. “Her background in managing elite clientele and navigating complex partnerships will bring even greater momentum to our Entertainment department.”

“I’m honored to join Heritage and contribute to a place where passion for the arts meets purpose,” says Batlle. “I look forward to working with collectors and colleagues to bring extraordinary works to auction.”

Batlle is currently seeking consignments for Heritage’s upcoming Entertainment, Hollywood and Music Memorabilia auctions. She can be reached at 305-333-2791 or julialbatlle@ha.com.
