Talenthouse also hired the team who built Sponsokit and acquired the AI based, data driven software platform for influencer marketing of Sponsokit. Both parties agreed to keep the purchase price of the transaction confidential. Talenthouse uses the software on the one hand as an additional campaign management tool, which is particularly useful as an add on to Talenthouse client briefs, on the other hand to enhance their data analytics, which is key to providing improvements in service. The founders (Armend Avdijaj, Gaelle Walrave and Philippe Brule) are very much looking forward to adding their built technology to the group offering.

The acquisition is an important step in our vertical expansion strategy, always with the aim of providing more work and opportunities for our community of creatives. We look forward to growing the existing Creative Commission platform and welcoming Nick Clark and Matt Proud to Talenthouse. Additionally, I am pleased to welcome the experienced team of business minded data-engineers from Sponsokit bringing additional analytical capabilities to Talenthouse.”
Nick Clark, Co-Founder & Director at Creative Commission adds: “We’re excited to be joining Talenthouse to further expand our global reach and physical presence in the music industry.
