Comment: "Thank you everyone for your great inputs - it's all helpful, but for this time Ritchest gave me the clue just in time... Also, I think to avoid confusion in Chinese (代理 can be both verb and noun), I'm using the term with some flexibility (thank you Mark Xiang)... and thanks to icg! cheers"

Note from asker:
| "经纪人" perhaps is used more relevant in the contexts of show business... it's certainly very Hongkong-ish to me! But I'd like be safe for mainland use... thanks again! |
| correction: "经纪人" perhaps is more relevant |
