| Description |
| Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is an American talent and sports agency. It was founded by five agents at the William Morris Agency in 1975. Michael Ovitz, Michael S. Rosenfeld, Ronald Meyer, Rowland Perkins, and William Haber decided to create their own agency. The agents were fired by William Morris before they could obtain financing. In 2020 CAA sold the majority stake in their content company wiip to a South Korean studio JTBC. In 2022 they acquired ICM Partners and they became part of Creative Artists Agency. In September 2023, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault completed the acquisition of a majority stake in CAA, in an agreement valued at 7 billion dollars through his investment company, Groupe Artémis. |
