Entertainment 360 Buys Max Stein's Management Firm Brigade

Entertainment 360 has acquired Brigade, the management firm founded by Max Stein, and Stein is joining the company as a partner. Deadline reported the deal on 11 November 2026.

A management firm looks after the careers of performers, writers and other creative people. It finds them work, handles deal talks and helps plan what comes next. Stein founded Brigade just over a decade ago to represent voices across fashion, media and culture.

Stein will bring his team and his clients with him. Brigade's list includes writer and fashion personality Leandra Medine Cohen, Emily Sundberg, creator of the Feed Me newsletter, and Chris Black and Jason Stewart, hosts of the How Long Gone podcast. Television personality Zanna Roberts Rassi is also a Brigade client.

Entertainment 360 already counts Margot Robbie, Jeremy Allen White and Julianne Moore among its clients. Adding Brigade brings a second group of names and a different mix of fields under one roof. Fashion, podcasting and TV now sit alongside film and television stars in the same company.

The deal follows a busy stretch of hiring. A few weeks before buying Brigade, Entertainment 360 brought in Tony Lipp and Dara Gordon, both former partners at Anonymous Content, the production company. Their arrival and the Brigade purchase form part of the same run of moves.

For the clients on Brigade's books, the main change is the company behind their representation. They move across with Stein and his team, so their day-to-day work now sits inside Entertainment 360. Nothing in the announcement changes who they are or what they make.

Stein's new role is as a partner, which means he holds a share in the business rather than working only as an employee. The announcement did not set out the price Entertainment 360 paid.
