Method
ICM is formed in 1975 in Century City from the merger of International Famous Agency and Creative Management Associates and runs a branded entertainment division for endorsements and product placement. In June 2018 it forms a joint venture with esports talent agency Evolved to reach gaming creators, and in March 2020 it pairs with the TikTok management firm TalentX. CAA announces the purchase in September 2021 and, after a Department of Justice review that adds about six months, closes it in late June 2022 at a reported value of about 750 million dollars; roughly 425 agents and staff join CAA and about 105 ICM positions are eliminated, so the agency's creator work is absorbed into CAA's division.
