Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Acquires International Creative Management (ICM) – The Big Four Talent Agencies Become The Big Three Talent Agencies

In blockbuster news, two of the big four talent agencies in Hollywood are coming together and getting married.

Legendary talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is acquiring the prestigious talent agency International Creative Management (ICM) Partners. This will be one of the biggest talent agency mergers since William Morris and Endeavor got married in the year 2009 to form William Morris Endeavor (WME). 

The big four talent agencies Creative Artists Agency (CAA), William Morris Endeavor (WME), United Talent Agency (UTA), and International Creative Management (ICM) are now the big three talent agencies.

Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a leading entertainment and sports agency released a statement:

“Today’s storytellers, athletes, thought-leaders, and trend-setters who can move, inspire, and attract large, global audiences have unprecedented opportunity and ability to achieve their goals and aspirations,” said CAA’s Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane, and Richard Lovett. “The strategic combination of CAA and ICM bolsters our collective resources, expertise, and relationships to deliver even more opportunities for our world-class clients to build their careers and their brands across multiple disciplines and platforms in an evolving marketplace. Our strong financial position enables us to continue to expand and diversify our businesses, with service and representation remaining central to what we do and who we are. We’re fortunate to have a partner in ICM who shares our commitment to the widest and most inclusive vision possible for what our clients and company can accomplish together.”

ICM representatives also commented:

“We’re thrilled to partner and combine forces with the talented CAA team,” said ICM’s Chris Silbermann, who will join CAA’s shareholder board. “Together, we will build upon our accomplishments and entrepreneurial spirit, and continue to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to the best interests of our clients, as well as empowering new, diverse voices within the industry.”

The complementary combination of CAA and ICM will create deeper, broader, and more competitive opportunities for clients in the ever-evolving entertainment, media, and sports landscapes. ICM brings to CAA a global roster of artists in film, television, music, comedy, theater, games, politics, and podcasting. ICM’s industry-leading books division superbly complements CAA’s content-driven motion pictures, television, and podcasting businesses, in addition to its speakers arm, and other divisions. Further, ICM’s London-based ICM Stellar Sports, serves more than 800 clients around the globe and maintains offices in 10 countries.

CAA is a leading entertainment, media, and sports enterprise, with global expertise in motion pictures, television, music, sports, theater, digital media, publishing, endorsements, media finance, consumer investing, fashion, podcasting, speaking, games, and philanthropy. Led by a world-class management team and distinguished by its culture of collaboration and exceptional client service, CAA’s diverse workforce identifies and innovates opportunities for the people and organizations that shape culture and inspire the world. CAA was the first entertainment talent agency to build a sports business, create an investment bank, launch a venture fund, found technology start-up companies, and establish a business in China, among other industry innovations. A subsidiary of CAA, Entertainment Benefits Group (EBG) is a leader in corporate entertainment and travel, with more than 40,000 clients and 60 million users. Founded in 1975, CAA is headquartered in Los Angeles, and has a significant presence in New York, Nashville, London, Beijing, and Shanghai, as well as offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Geneva, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Memphis, Miami, Munich, Orlando, Stockholm, and Toronto, among other locations globally.

ICM is one of the world’s premier entertainment, media, sports agencies, dedicated to the global representation of artists, content creators, broadcasters, authors, artisans, journalists, and athletes in film, television, sports, publishing, theater, music, live performance, podcasting, branding, endorsements, product placements, sponsorship, commercials, broadcasting, speaking, and politics. Originally founded in 1975 as International Creative Management, then rebranded as ICM Partners in 2012, ICM has the expertise and influence of a legacy agency, and an entrepreneurial innovative spirit dedicated to serving its clients across the globe with passion and distinction. ICM has offices in Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., and London, and strategic partnerships in Europe, Asia, and beyond.

The transaction is expected to close later this year, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Allen & Company LLC served as financial advisor for CAA, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz as legal advisor.

Lazard served as financial advisor for ICM, with Sheppard Mullin and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP as legal advisors.

Final Thoughts:

The ripple effect will be immense, and there will undoubtedly be departures, layoffs, and restructuring. We wonder which clients will stay and which will exit to other talent agencies. Many people went to the smaller International Creative Management (ICM) for fear of being lost in the larger Creative Artists Agency (CAA) system. Now you have a massive number of talent to represent, so how do you stand out in your agent’s minds when they now have to represent some of the most famous and successful talent on planet Earth?

Aside from these worries, it will be extremely interesting to see how this changes the talent agency industry as a whole. For example, International Creative Management (ICM) has a huge publishing and literary division, with direct access to intellectual property that many of the top clients in the industry might want to access in the future.

How To Get Started In Modeling For Teenagers – Health First

Being a professional fashion model means taking care of your body which includes a healthy diet, lifestyle, and proper sleep (at least 8 hours of a good night sleep since this is the time when your cells regenerate so that you can look more beautiful and pretty). Don’t depend on Photoshop to “fix” you. Photographers and fashion clients still want to see a girl who has beautiful hair and a glowing skin complexion.

How To Get Started In Modeling For Teens And Teenage Girls – A Beautiful Personality

Fashion clients need to enjoy working with you and doing photo shoots with you. Attitude and personal problems must be left at the door. Having a professional work ethic is needed to succeed in the fashion modeling industry and become a successful fashion model. A lot of work as a model will come from repeat bookings and regular clients. Your main objective should be to leave a photo shoot with everyone wanting to work with you again. In the fashion modeling industry business, it doesn’t take long for word of mouth to make or break your fashion modeling career. A beautiful personality is extremely important if you are also the face of a brand and do model interviews (press interviews) representing specific fashion brands as the following fashion model interviews and press event illustrates.

How To Get Started In Modeling – Confidence, Persistence, And Determination Are Extremely Important For Becoming A Successful Fashion Model

Allow yourself to open up and be yourself in front of the camera. Fashion photographers love to work with models that are confident in themselves and not self conscious about their looks, appearance, and/or their posing skills for the photo shoot. Being confident, having the ability to move freely and correctly, and giving a range of expressions is key to getting that perfect beautiful shot. It is also very important to not take anything personally, specially rejections. Fashion models that generally succeed are able to handle continuous rejection from fashion clients. There are a number of top models and supermodels who heard plenty of no’s before they developed an incredibly successful fashion modeling career.

Having the right look, height, and body size as a fashion model will definitely get the attention of a modeling agent at a top modeling agency, but also having a beautiful personality can help you in that final step which is actually getting signed by a top modeling agency (getting the initial model interview with a top fashion modeling agency will not help you much if you can’t seal the deal and get signed by a top modeling agency). Don’t underestimate how important personality plays in getting signed by a modeling agency and in becoming a top model.

How To Get Started In Modeling And How To Get A Modeling Agent – Choose A Market And Location

In fashion modeling there are various different markets and selecting the one that you are most suitable for will have a major effect on your success as a fashion model. Location is extremely important in modeling, and if you are not in the right city and country and you are not willing to move you probably will not make it as a successful fashion model simply because there simply will not be enough modeling work for you. Major fashion markets in the United States include Los Angeles for models located in the Western United States and New York for models located in the Eastern United States in addition to London, Paris, and Milan in Italy.

Take a look at our fascinating stories about the “Money Girls – The Highest Paid Models In The World” and you will see that at some point in their modeling careers these top models eventually moved to either New York, London, Paris, or Milan (the fashion capitals of the world). However, it is important to note that selecting the right market for you is the job of your modeling agent and your modeling agency since top modeling agencies will generally know what will work best for you based on your particular look.

How To Get Started In Modeling For Teens And Teenage Girls – Money Is Not Required

This is the area that causes the most confusion with potential new models in the fashion modeling industry. Top modeling agencies will either pay for all of your portfolio development expenses such as photo shoots for developing your book (your modeling portfolio) or they will advance you the expenses which basically means that they will subtract what you owe them from your future modeling paychecks once you start modeling with your modeling agency. The third scenario (and this is where you can distinguish the top modeling agencies from the rest) is when a modeling agency asks you to pay for everything upfront that relates to developing your modeling portfolio.

As of the date of this writing and for over a decade ZARZAR MODELS has never required money from models for photo shoots or in order to sign them with the agency and instead earns a percentage of the earnings generated by the model. You do not need to hire expensive photographers in order to apply to our modeling agency and be considered as a potential ZARZAR MODEL (simple well taken Polaroids by a relative or friend will be sufficient). If a modeling agency is truly interested in signing you and really believes in you they will invest in you.

How To Get Started In Modeling For Teenagers – Types Of Modeling Jobs

Another important thing to consider when starting a modeling career is that there are several types of modeling areas that you can pursue as a fashion model. For example, ZARZAR MODELING AGENCY also known around the world as ZARZAR MODELS has 4 major divisions which include “Editorial & Print”, “Runway”, “Film & Television”, and a 4th division which represents fashion models that are the faces of major brands at press events, etc. which is why a beautiful personality is extremely important. Selecting what division you will be best at in modeling is also the job of your modeling agent and modeling agency after talking with you and discussing your modeling goals, etc.
