Did you know that Hasan Piker, Asmongold, Mr Beast and many others all belong to the same talent agency? And that they are directly connected to Disney and Amazon?
Today I learned that a company named Night Media literally manages almost every single zoomer e-celebrity. If you ever look at the YT trending tab, at least one of Night's 'talents' will be up there. Night Media is just a subsidiary, as Night, Inc itself is valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars from venture capitalists and angel investors
Who owns Night? The CEO of Night Media is Reed Duchscher, who formerly worked for NFL and then went on to be Dude Perfect's manager. The president of Night, Inc. is Ezra Cooperstein, who was previously the president of Fullscreen and Rooster Teeth, as well as Maker Studios, which is now a part of the Disney Digital Network (note: Disney acquired Maker in 2014, but did not merge them until 2017.) Ironically, neither of these guys are the real talent managers, as that position is for their 90+ employees, including Andrew Pelosi, a former higher-up at Influential
What is Influential, you ask?
>Influential is an AI social data and conversion technology, as well as a Developer Partner of IBM Watson and a Facebook Marketing Partner. Utilizing a network of over 1,000,000 social media influencers as a tactic for distribution, Influential runs both native and paid campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube for Fortune 500 brands. Influential is owned by Jeremy Steinberg
Night, Inc. is directly financed by The Chernin Group, aka TCG, one of its executive members being Alexandra Moore, "a former executive from Amazon who focused on mergers and acquisitions." However, TCG itself is financed by Providence Equity, an ESG-compliant private equity investment firm valued at over $30,000,000,000
