Meet 21-year old Harry Rutter who refused A-level education now runs global celebrity and PR agency
HARRY RUTTER has lived a rags to riches lifestyle, after leaving school with no A-levels to working with A-list celebrities all around the world.
The 21-year-old from Cambridgeshire is the CEO of Triple Seven Management, a boutique celebrity PR and publicity agency working with reality TV stars.
Growing up, Harry always showed a keen interest in the media industry and preferred to watch ‘behind the scenes’ programmes on TV, instead of the actual shows.
He now works with TV stars from huge UK shows like The Apprentice, Big Brother, Shipwrecked and The Circle, managing stars’ diaries and bookings.
Harry also provides photographs to feed the world’s media, with published shots inside The Sun, Daily Mail, Metro, Express and Mirror.
His photos have even appeared in huge magazines such as Tatler, OK!, New, Hello, Bella, Mix Mag, Dummy and Closer amongst many more.
Harry said: “I never did enjoy school, maybe I have a problem with authority. One thing I did realise is I had a huge urge for success and breaking the norm.
“Local kids tend to stay close to home and work a normal 9 to 5 jobs, I knew I wanted something different and I knew I wanted to work in the media industry.
“I never went on to further education, I left school at GCSE level and refused to do A-levels or go to uni. I just wanted to get working towards my goals straight away and build up a reputation.”
Harry has photographed huge celebrities such as 50 Cent, Elton John, Will Smith and Vin Diesel. He’s also snapped Pixie Lott, Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams, amongst others.
He added: “Sometimes I need to look back on some of the amazing people I have photographed and the wonderful opportunities that I have had.
“One huge moment of my career was the Yiannimize Grand Tour which saw multi-millionaire’s road trip from Marbella all the way back to London in supercars.”
It was on that European tour, which set back drivers £14,000 each, that Harry met Pixie Lott and snapped rap superstar 50 Cent in Barcelona.
Harry’s knowledge in the PR world has led him to exclusive interviews with national papers, he recently spoke with the Metro about Caitlyn Jenner on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
He added: “I’ve never had anything handed to me, I’ve done everything myself. The key is in networking, meeting people and showing your worth.
“I’ve done plenty of free work and free photoshoots, it’s about getting your name out there first and building up a portfolio, as cliché as that sounds it’s true.
“The advice I’d give to anyone is that you really can do anything you like. It doesn’t matter how unbelievable you think it is. If you want it, you can get it.
“If you work hard enough and you really commit to it, work every day on your goals, there is no chance of failure, as long as you believe in yourself.”
Triple Seven Management has had a successful year with clients attending some of London’s hottest VIP events and securing a number of brand deals.
Harry organised for his clients to attend this year’s National Reality TV Awards, along with some even presenting prizes at this year’s Charity Film Awards.
He set up a VIP get-together in the sky for his celeb clients (twice) and has even bigger plans for 2020 with more global opportunities.
He said: “I don’t like talking about money, I know some on Instagram love it but that’s not really my image, but I would really like to inspire youngsters who were like me.
“I know there is a low aspiration for some young people and I just want to show that it doesn’t matter what kind of background you’re from, you can do anything.
“I’m really excited for 2020 as we have a number of huge plans both in the UK and around the world, transforming some clients’ image entirely.
“We’ve had a great year packed with events, who doesn’t love an awards bash or a VIP drink, or two, at an exclusive night club personal appearance.
“I’ve just secured a really exciting agency party for the new year, it should be a really fun and exciting get-together for all of my clients.
“I can’t say much about the deals and plans we have for 2020 but I will say just watch this space and keep your eyes peeled on our socials.”
