Congratulations to Zach Kaplan and Danielle Shebby on being named two of Variety’s Hollywood’s New Leaders of 2024.

Two exciting promotions in CAA Sports: Alexa Cook has been appointed Global Co-Head of CAA Sports Property Sales and Rob DeAngelis is now Chief Revenue Officer of CAA Sports.

Our team was out in full force at TwitchCon 2024, not only supporting clients on-site but also engaging in strategic business meetings to explore new opportunities in the creator economy. A key focus for us this year was exploring the future of gaming, and how creators, platforms, and brands are shaping this rapidly evolving space.   CAA Digital Media hosted a party in partnership with Sony Honda Mobility, showcasing their innovative EV prototype, Afeela, which reflects the growing intersection of entertainment, mobility tech, and gaming. The Afeela’s immersive entertainment system—designed for gaming and films on the go—offers new ways for content creators and fans to interact, signaling what the future of in-car entertainment could look like. We see this as just one of many exciting developments in the gaming space, where content consumption and platform integration continue to evolve.   We were also thrilled to celebrate client LilyPichu and Team Nephew’s victory in the Twitch Rivals “Sajam Street Fighter Slam Grand Finals,” highlighting the continued rise of esports and competitive gaming, which remains a powerful driver of community and engagement in the creator economy.

Roeg Sutherland, co-head of CAA’s Media Finance department and International Film Group, spoke at the Zurich Film Festival this weekend, ahead of receiving its Game Changer Award. He discussed his early experiences pulling together financing for films such as The Wrestler and Black Swan, spearheading a virtual Cannes market during the Covid-19 pandemic, and why there will always be opportunity in the independent film sector.

We are excited to welcome our new colleagues from Hanold Associates to CAA. Hanold Associates’ significant focus on leading high-profile searches for Chief People and HR Officers across industries will amplify our efforts in this important service area.

Our colleague Giovanni Rodriguez was recently promoted to Senior Director of Latin America in CAA Sports’ Baseball division. See how Rodriguez and CAA Baseball co-head Ryan Hamill are leading our efforts in Latin America, supporting players’ successes both on and off the field.

Congratulations to our colleague Ally Shuster, named one of Variety's 10 Broadway Stars to Watch!
