By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 14 December 2012
Talent management and brand/media partnerships business the James Grant Group has further expanded its interests in music by acquiring the Hall Or Nothing artist management agency. Originally founded in 1989, and currently with Manic Street Preachers, The Script, The Horrors and Pixie Lott on its roster, Hall Or Nothing will become the music management division of the James Grant Group, which already has units managing media, entertainment and sports talent.
Confirming the deal, Mike Wallwork, COO of James Grant Group, told CMU: “Hall Or Nothing is a widely regarded, well respected and highly successful music management company and we are delighted to welcome them to our Group. Expanding our footprint in music has always been part of our strategic growth plans and this acquisition represents a logical extension to our other management businesses in the entertainment sector. We are very excited about the industry knowledge, experience and reach the Hall or Nothing team will bring to our Group in the music arena. We look forward to using our expertise to help build and develop the company’s service proposition”.
Meanwhile Hall Or Nothing boss Martin Hall said: “The culture and ethos of James Grant is an ideal fit for Hall Or Nothing, and once we heard of their ambitions in music management we knew this represented a great opportunity for us, and more importantly for our clients. We have survived and thrived as an independent agent for almost twenty years now but the industry landscape is changing rapidly”.
“We knew we needed a strong partner to help us adapt to these changes and take the business to the next level, and James Grant represents just that partner – with a strategic vision to match. We look forward to the opportunities that this deal will bring both us and our clients, and we are very excited about the enhanced offering we can offer those we represent”.
The deal does not affect the Hall Or Nothing PR company, which has been a separate entity from the management agency for some time.
