Live Nation is a live music promotion and ticketing giant, but it also runs a powerhouse talent management business. Indeed, the Michael Rapino-led company claimed in its 2023 annual report to be "one of the world's leading artist management companies based on the number of artists represented".

Live Nation has acquired a majority stake in the Hollywood-based influencer management company, The Digital Dept., signaling a strategic move to expand its reach within the digital and social media landscape. This acquisition is significant as it reflects Live Nation's intent to leverage the growing influence of social media personalities in the entertainment industry, particularly in music promotion and artist discovery. The Digital Dept. represents a roster of high-profile influencers who can directly engage with millions of followers, offering Live Nation new avenues for marketing, ticket sales, and fan engagement. This move also underscores the increasing importance of digital influencers in shaping consumer behavior and the music industry's adaptation to digital marketing trends, aiming to create more integrated and impactful promotional campaigns.
