Entertainment 360 Acquires Max Stein’s Brigade

Entertainment 360 has acquired Brigade, the management firm founded by Max Stein, and will bring Stein aboard as a partner along with his team and clients. The deal’s financial terms were not disclosed. The announcement was made on November 11.

Brigade represents talent across fashion, media and culture, including style journalist Leandra Medine Cohen, who writes the Feed Me email bulletin, How Long Gone hosts Chris Black and Jason Stewart, and television personality Zanna Roberts Rassi. Its clients also include stylist Danielle Goldberg, writer and producer Karley Sciortino, and After School newsletter founder Casey Lewis.

Stein established Brigade just over a decade ago. He said he has focused on people whose work spans categories and whose individual tastes have helped them build careers. He described the firm’s role as helping clients develop those pursuits into lasting businesses.

Entertainment 360 plans to use Brigade’s expertise to pursue digital talent and opportunities in brand partnerships, publishing, podcasts and traditional media. The acquisition is part of the company’s push into creator and lifestyle representation as audiences increasingly find entertainment through digital creators.

The company’s partners said the deal will broaden its services and help create opportunities for artists across different areas of entertainment. The acquisition follows recent senior hires, including Tony Lipp and Dara Gordon, who previously served as partners at Anonymous Content.
