Method

Collective Digital Studio spins out of the Los Angeles management firm The Collective in 2011 under Reza Izad and Michael Green as a network that packages creators such as Rhett and Link, Lilly Singh and Epic Rap Battles for brand deals and YouTube ad share. ProSiebenSat.1 buys a majority in 2015 for a reported 83 million dollars and merges it in 2017 with its Berlin network Studio71, which becomes the surviving brand.

People: Reza Izad, Michael Green, Adam Wescott
