Creator and Hollywood Agencies Jointly Sign Multi‑Hyphenates
Creator agency Reign Maker Group (RMG) and Hollywood talent agency Paradigm announced a series of joint signings, formalizing a partnership that began in October and signaling a shift in representation models. The agencies jointly signed three multi-hyphenate talents — Reza Jackson (reality star/fashion influencer), Max Goodrich (YouTube creator), and Grayson Boucher (basketball creator, aka The Professor). The partnership aims to diversify talent portfolios and revenue streams beyond ad and brand deals by treating creators as portfolio assets and positioning agencies as portfolio managers of IP and attention. RMG’s CEO Jonathan Chanti and Nova Studio CCO Matt Barash commented on cultural influence, long-term packaging and distribution strategies, and a revenue-share structure RMG described as a “shared-value ecosystem.” The deal reflects agencies’ broader strategy to bridge creator-economy talent with traditional entertainment opportunities.
CreatorIQ and Sprinklr partner to unify creator measurement
CreatorIQ and Sprinklr announced a partnership to connect creator intelligence with social media management and paid-amplification reporting, aiming to give brands unified measurement across organic, paid and creator content. CreatorIQ will feed its proprietary intelligence infrastructure (it says it processes 123 million creator posts daily) into Sprinklr’s social reporting platform to surface creator campaign performance alongside paid, owned and earned metrics and social listening signals. Early testers are unnamed enterprise advertisers including a global streaming platform and a multinational e-commerce company. Executives cite declining organic reach and rising paid-amplification of creator content as drivers, and point to platform moves (e.g., YouTube evolving its partnerships API) that make deeper first-party integrations possible.

LinkedIn also introduced BrandWorks — a team of brand, creative and content experts (with hires from TikTok, Meta and X) — and a self-serve BrandLink video inventory product. Creator Marketplace is in alpha for select brands and creators in North America (English-only); organic content discovery and BrandLink are available globally. LinkedIn positions the move as supporting the growing B2B creator economy and emphasises trust and credibility as drivers of creator-led marketing.
