Hulu Passes on La LA Anthony, Kim Kardashian Pilot ‘Group Chat’

by jummy84 April 3, 2026
written by jummy84

Hulu has opted not to pick up the comedy pilot “Group Chat,” Variety has learned. The show was inspired by La La Anthony’s book “The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness” and hailed from writer Kenya Barris and executive producer Kim Kardashian.

The project was first announced as being in development back in 2024 under Kardashian’s first-look deal with 20th Television. Anthony starred in the pilot in addition to executive producing, while Kardashian was set to guest star and serve as narrator on the series. The cast also included Yaya DaCosta, Melanie Liburd, Rebecca Rittenhouse, and Stephanie Suganami.

But Anthony and Kardashian are staying in business together. Both are attached as executive producers on an untitled Tracy Oliver comedy series currently in development at Hulu. Oliver is also an executive producer on the project in addition to writing. 20th Television is the studio.

The logline for the new project states, “When the Bay Area’s most sought-after crisis manager for professional athletes finds her own life upended by her husband’s scandal, she turns to the three women who’ve been by her side through every version of her life. Together they navigate dating, ambition, motherhood, and the glamorous mess of starting over.”

Oliver is perhaps best known for writing the hit 2017 comedy feature “Girls Trip,” which grossed over $140 million worldwide. She went on to write films like “The Blackening,” “The Sun Is Also a Star,” and “Little.” On the TV side, she is known for developing “The First Wives Club” TV series at BET+ and for creating the Amazon Prime Video series “Harlem,” which ran for three seasons.

OIiver is repped by CAA, Artists First, and Myman Greenspan. Kardashian is repped by WME. Anthony is repped by Linden Entertainment, WME, and Sloane Offer.

In addition, both James Asser, Labour MP for West Ham and Beckton and Douglas McAllister, Labour MP for West Dunbartonshire were both nominated and elected as Officers of the group. They will join Jack Rankin, Conservative MP for Windsor, in driving the direction and decisions of the APPG for Events alongside the group’s Chair.

A spokesperson for the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events said: “We are delighted to welcome Martin Rhodes MP as Chair and both James Asser MP and Douglas McAllister MP as Officers of the Group. All three bring a deep understanding of the importance of the events sector to the UK’s economy and communities, and their commitment will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen the industry’s voice in Parliament.

“We look forward to working with them to ensure that the events sector receives the recognition and support it deserves for its role in driving growth, encouraging innovation, and connecting people across the UK and beyond.”

Discussing his appointment, Martin Rhodes MP said: “I am honoured to have been elected Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events, and look forward to working with my fellow Officers, and my colleagues in Parliament, to continue to give a voice to our world leading events industry.

“Over the coming weeks, I will be working with the team from The Business of Events, to update our programme to ensure that going forward, we provide the level of engagement and support that this sector both needs and deserves.”

The EGM was chaired by Independent Chair Wera Hobhouse, Liberal Democrat MP for Bath. The election was triggered by the resignation of the previous Chair, Shaun Davies MP, following his appointment as Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Secretary of State for Defence. Under parliamentary rules, Government members cannot chair an APPG.

PR & Communications agency Davies Tanner, through its The Business of Events Think Tank and Advocacy Network, manages the APPG for Events and acts as a Special Advisor to the group.

Michael Wyrley-Birch & Simon Hambley, Group CEO of Strata

Strata, the award-winning brand experience agency group, has appointed Michael Wyrley-Birch as President and Group Managing Director, Growth and Strategy, a newly created role designed to accelerate the group’s next phase of growth.

Wyrley-Birch, former CEO of Omnicom agencies TRO Group and Story House in Los Angeles, will join the Strata Group leadership team and take responsibility for shaping and embedding the group’s market proposition, growth strategy and client-facing culture. He will act as the mission holder for Strata’s go-to-market approach, ensuring it is clear and relevant to meet client needs across all brands in the group.

A strategic leader with a track record in building profitable businesses across multiple markets, Wyrley-Birch believes in the power of people, collaboration and innovation to unlock an organisation’s full potential. At TRO, he was instrumental in establishing the agency as a leading independent experience business in the UK before its sale to Omnicom Group. He then spent ten years scaling the business under Omnicom ownership, leading TRO’s evolution into a truly global business.

His experience within a large agency network, building successful collaborative teams, integrating businesses and growing clients internationally, along with deep sector expertise including automotive, will be a key asset as Strata continues to scale. He also brings significant experience helping organisations navigate change, from mergers and international expansion to service transformation and the adoption of AI.

In his new role, Wyrley-Birch will operate as a peer to Group CEO, Simon Hambley, and COO, Phil Staines. He will focus on the external-facing, growth-driving agenda, complementing Staines’ focus on strategy execution and operational delivery.

Michael Wyrley-Birch said: “I’ve followed Strata’s momentum closely and have been consistently impressed by the ambition of the Group and the calibre of its people. With clients demanding greater agility and sharper strategic thinking, Strata’s integrated capabilities enable us to create more impactful solutions. At a time of rapid change for brands, I’m excited to help deliver innovative and relevant solutions alongside Simon and the wider team.”

Simon Hambley, Group CEO of Strata, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Michael to the Strata Group leadership team. His record in scaling and integrating agencies globally speaks for itself, and his belief in the power of people, collaboration and innovation fits perfectly with our culture. Michael’s ability to build clear propositions, unite teams and help clients navigate complex change is exactly what we need for our next phase of growth, keeping our go-to-market strategy sharp and our client experience forward-thinking and commercial.”

Nuweb Group posts breakout quarter with record ticketing throughput, and expanding commercial momentum

by jummy84 November 18, 2025
written by jummy84

Nuweb Group delivered record ticketing throughput this quarter, accompanied by sustained commercial momentum.

The milestone, Nuweb executives said, reflects a multi-year investment in rebuilding Nuweb’s global architecture around resilience.

“Much of this industry is running on technology held together by decades of patchwork,” said José San Miguel, Managing Director, “We’re providing the modern technical base these platforms should have had years ago.”

That stance was underscored this quarter as the company processed its highest-ever ticketing throughput without any service disruption.

Performance bolstered by strong demand across major events including Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Azahriah and Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Nuweb Group executives were quick to stress that headline throughput figures tell only part of the story.

“In major on-sales, platforms often strip back functionality simply to push buyers through faster. That isn’t good enough,” said José.

He added that Nuweb’s approach prioritises continuity of experience rather than tactical shortcuts. “Our throughput doesn’t come at the expense of the experience. If 85 per cent of buyers want to choose their own seats, we shouldn’t be turning that off, even under pressure.” 

This comes at a time where ticketing platforms have recently made headlines for system crashes and user lockouts during major on sales, prompting renewed debate over platform resilience and consumer rights.

Nuweb’s leadership believes this environment favours new infrastructure providers that can evolve quickly.

“The market is moving faster than the systems currently supporting it,” says Jose, “Platforms need underlying technology that understands that reality”

The company, which supplies technology to ticketing operators, has gained traction among a growing need for platforms to rebuild or modernise their systems.The company is now expanding its footprint across North America, adding new roles to support rising demand and an expanding client base across the region.

Universal Music Group and AI Music Company Udio Reach Agreement in Lawsuit

Universal Music Group and AI Music Company Udio Reach Agreement in Lawsuit

by jummy84 October 30, 2025
written by jummy84

Universal Music Group (UMG) and Udio, an artificial intelligence (AI) developer focused on music, have reached an agreement in last year’s copyright infringement lawsuit, which UMG, Sony Music, Warner Music Group, and the Recording Industry Association of America brought against Udio and Suno. At the time, UMG accused Udio of copyright infringement on an “almost unimaginable scale” and training its AI models on the label’s recordings. A press release from UMG states that the two companies will now “collaborate on an innovative, new commercial music creation, consumption, and streaming experience,” as Billboard notes. The deal also includes a compensatory legal settlement for UMG.

UMG’s lawsuit against Udio was focused solely on infringement of the company’s sound recordings; the new agreement has established a licensing framework for UMG’s sound recordings as well as songs and publishing assets. Participating UMG artists and songwriters will receive financial compensation for the training of AI models and for its outputs. The new collaborative platform launches in 2026, and UMG artists and songwriters can opt in to participate. Songs created using Udio’s current model will be “controlled within a walled garden,” fingerprinted, and filtered before the new effects go into place.

“The new subscription service will transform the user engagement experience, creating a licensed and protected environment to customize, stream, and share music responsibly, on the Udio platform,” reads the press release. Billboard reports that users can create mashups, remixes, and tempo changes to existing, licensed works; swap vocals with UMG artists’ voices who opted in to the program; and can only listen to the creations within the service.

In a statement, Udio co-founder and chief executive Andrew Sanchez said, “This moment brings to life everything we’ve been building toward—uniting AI and the music industry in a way that truly champions artists. Together, we’re building the technological and business landscape that will fundamentally expand what’s possible in music creation and engagement.”

UMG chairman and chief executive Lucian Grainge added, “These new agreements with Udio demonstrate our commitment to do what’s right by our artists and songwriters, whether that means embracing new technologies, developing new business models, diversifying revenue streams or beyond. We look forward to working with Andrew who shares our belief that together, we can foster a healthy commercial AI ecosystem in which artists, songwriters, music companies and technology companies can all flourish and create incredible experiences for fans.”

Nuweb Group to expand North American operations with key hires in the US

by jummy84 October 29, 2025
written by jummy84

The American flag is unfurled during the All-Star Game national anthem at Petco Park.

Nuweb Group is growing its North American presence, adding new roles to support rising demand and an expanding client base across the region.

The UK-founded ticketing infrastructure company has evolved over the past five years into a recognised global partner to the live events industry.

In 2024, the company enabled ticket sales in more than 120 countries, with international markets now accounting for the lion’s share of its revenue.

Nuweb Group is planning further expansion in North America, with its technology already powering ticketing operations at major college sports stadiums and supporting high-profile partnerships across the continent.

The company’s footprint in the region continues to grow following a recent partnership with a Canadian based entertainment group that manages sixteen venues and produces more than 1,000 live events annually.

To support its growing demand, the company has announced a series of strategic hires, recruiting for several new positions including Business Development Representative, Account Executive, QA Developer and Software engineer.

These roles will support the company’s growing client base and strengthen its technical and commercial operations across North America. Each new hire will form part of the bedrock and become a pillar of the company’s expansion ambitions.

Ethan Dean, Marketing Manager at Nuweb Group, recently relocated from the company’s Manchester UK base to Toronto to establish the first foundation stone.

“We’ve operated globally for years, but that’s not always immediately visible,” Dean said. “We want to strengthen our presence on the ground in a way that reflects the scale and reach of our operations.”

Nuweb’s expansion signals the arrival of a new class of infrastructure companies – those that operate quietly beneath the surface but power the biggest stages on earth.

The company credits its rapid growth to a culture focused on speed, curiosity and collaboration. “We execute at blinding speed,” said Jose San Miguel, Managing Director at Nuweb Group. “We’re finding people are tired of working at organisations that move at a snail’s pace, and they absolutely thrive here.”

He added that the company’s remote-first model has been instrumental in attracting talent. “It’s allowed us to attract and work with top talent from anywhere – and let’s face it, nobody likes long commutes.”

Raccoon Media Group and Messe München announce strategic partnership to redefine ISPO’s global future

by jummy84 October 28, 2025
written by jummy84

(L-R Mike Seaman, Group CEO at Raccoon Media Group, Doug Emslie, Chairman Raccoon Media Group, Stefan Rummel, Co-CEO at Messe Munchen and Harald Kirchschlager, Executive Director Corporate Strategy & Development at Messe München)

Raccoon Media Group and Messe München are joining forces to usher in a new era for ISPO, the world’s largest and most influential trade event for the sporting goods and outdoor industry. Under the joint venture, Raccoon Media Group will be responsible for the operational leadership of the event, with key figureheads from Messe München transferring into the new leadership structure to deliver an ambitious, future-facing vision.

From 2026, ISPO will start with a new strategic concept, refined event date of 3-5 November, avoiding key international holidays and aligning more strategically with buying cycles, as well as a new venue with a relocation to the RAI, Amsterdam. This opens the doors to a more globally connected marketplace and supports accessibility to a broader international audience. The concept represents a significant strategic shift designed to futureproof the event for the evolving demands of the global sports and outdoor market and to once again, create an event that is globally significant.

As part of this transformation, a €3 million investment programme has been announced, comprising:

  • €1 million into advocacy, supporting not-for-profit organisations that protect the natural environments in which people play, increasing participation and safeguarding the grassroots of the sports industry
  • €1 million into a global hosted buyer programme, ensuring robust ROI for exhibitors and attendees while strengthening international business opportunities
  • €1 million into a world-class content programme, designed to deliver cutting-edge insight, thought leadership and education across the sports and outdoor ecosystem

The reimagined ISPO will begin with The ISPO Leaders’ Summit, a C-suite conference bringing together global industry leaders for a first-class content programme. The Summit will welcome globally impactful C-suite executives, policymakers and industry leaders—including confirmed speakers Jimmy Chin (Filmmaker and Mountaineer), Hap Klopp (Founder, The North Face), Professor Laura McAllister (Vice President of UEFA), Andy Rubin (Deputy Chair, Pentland Group), John Lacey (CEO, Burton) and Pia Heidenmark Cook (Former Group Chief Sustainability Officer Ingka/IKEA) to shape the strategic agenda for a year of growth and innovation across the industry.

Following this will be a two-day streamlined and focused exhibition, uniting the global sporting goods, winter and outdoor community under one roof to showcase innovation, foster collaboration and drive commercial success.

The 2025 event will mark a dignified and memorable ISPO Show in Munich under Messe München’s stewardship. This year’s edition will define the first strategic cornerstones for the future – a milestone event that provides the ideal launchpad for the next chapter. Following this remarkable event, the leadership team of the newly established joint venture company will take the helm post-2025. For the first time in the event’s history, rebooking for the following edition will be available onsite – providing exhibitors and partners with a seamless transition into the next era of ISPO.

Mike Seaman, Group CEO of Raccoon Media Group, commented:
“We are incredibly proud to take ISPO into its next chapter. By combining the rich heritage and reputation of ISPO with our agile, forward-thinking, community-driven approach, we are creating an event that not only reflects the future of sport and the outdoors but actively shapes it. Our investments in advocacy, hosted buyers and content underline our commitment to delivering tangible value for the entire industry—from grassroots organisations to global brands.

Seaman continued: “The Sports and Outdoor market in Europe has fragmented over the last decade and needs a cohesive platform to discuss key issues, network and do business. In the USA we have seen the reduction in trade shows and the subsequent effects on the industry and associations – all during a time when advocacy and communal voice is needed the most on key issues like public lands.  We need to build ISPO into an event that is necessary and needed by the Sports and Outdoor Community. ISPO should help to protect the places we play, unite the industry and inspire the next generation of brands, leaders and businesses and that’s exactly what we plan to deliver.”

“We respond to market changes with care and consideration. The joint venture with Raccoon Media Group is a real new beginning and brings opportunities for the continuation of our traditional event. The focus on the growth of our major events at home and abroad strengthens our global market position as a top trade fair company. The industry will benefit from the partnership and receive important impetus,” say the two CEOs of Messe München, Stefan Rummel and Dr Reinhard Pfeiffer, in a joint statement.

Cohen Media Group Picks Up Stéphane Demoustier’s ‘The Great Arch’

by jummy84 October 20, 2025
written by jummy84

EXCLUSIVE: Cohen Media Group has taken U.S. domestic distribution rights to Stéphane Demoustier‘s The Great Arch.

The historical drama is based on the true story of the Great Arch of La Défense, one of the most ambitious architectural undertakings of modern France in a story about Danish architect Otto von Spreckelsen, who was thrust into the spotlight after winning the 1983 international competition to design the Great Arch of La Défense. Against all odds, von Spreckelsen emerges as the unlikely winner. Propelled from obscurity in Denmark to the helm of a pharaonic project in Paris, his uncompromising vision soon collides with political maneuvering, bureaucratic obstacles, and the harsh realities of construction.

The historical drama made its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at last spring’s Cannes Film Festival and is set for a U.S. Domestic premiere at this year’s AFI Film Festival on Oct. 26 at 8 pm. The Great Arch will play in stateside theaters in early 2026.

The acquisition was negotiated by Robert Aaronson, Executive Vice President of Cohen Media Group, with Romain Rancurel, Head of Sales at Le Pacte, on behalf of the filmmakers.

Pic is produced by Muriel Meynard at Paris-based production company Ex Nihilo. The Great Arch is also co-produced with Zentropa (Denmark), France 3 Cinéma (France), and Le Pacte (France).

Robert Aaronson, EVP of Cohen Media Group, stated, “We are thrilled to introduce the work of Stéphane Demoustier to U.S. audiences with his latest masterwork, The Great Arch. He has seamlessly woven the facts of a true story with the fictional elements of a deeply felt drama. Claes Bang delivers a career-best performance.”

Romain Rancurel, Head of Sales at Le Pacte, added, “Following a warm reception at the Cannes Film Festival, we’re thrilled to partner with Cohen Media Group for the upcoming U.S. release of Stéphane Demoustier’s The Great Arch. Charles S. Cohen’s dedication to bringing French cinema to U.S. audiences is undisputed. And thanks to CMG’s Landmark Theatres, the largest independent circuit in the U.S., Americans will soon be able to discover the film as it ought to be seen: on the big screen.”
