Ticket resale marketplace StubHub is reportedly looking at an IPO later this year with a target valuation of $16.5 billion. “For perspective, the current market capitalization of competitor Vivid Seats, listed on the NASDAQ, stands at $1.2 billion, while NYSE-listed Live Nation boasts a much larger valuation of $23.3 billion.” 

Warner Chappell announced an exclusive publishing agreement with Electronic Arts to manage the gaming company’s library of music. The partnership will see Warner Chappell leverage its roster of songwriters and producers to collaborate with EA on new and existing music projects. 

The video campaign for Palace’s 2024 Spring collection sees the skateboard company team up with Detroit-based musician John FM. Directed by Rollo Jackson, the campaign highlights “Detroit’s rebellious street culture” as John FM explores the city alongside artist Hi-Tech and Palace skater Jamal Smith.
