We are a community of forward-thinking managers, dedicated to going beyond the expected because we are driven by the desire to make an impact greater than ourselves.

Topping the charts, selling out tours, and diligently supporting our clients’ artistic vision as we help them gain visibility for their art.  Setting box office and viewership records and negotiating positive strategic partnerships is just the beginning of what the Activist team helps our clients achieve on a global basis.

Activist is dedicated to taking environmental and climate action and working with the artists, actors, and brands that make up this community to create positive change. Our focus goes beyond limiting and neutralizing our carbon footprint. We are committed to increasing our climate shadow, using our actions, our voices, and our energy to create a legacy of education, engagement, and action leading to meaningful change for people and the planet.
