The entertainment business is ultimately a business, and everyone’s goal is to always have a sold out show. Typically, talent “buyers” and talent “suppliers” are brought together via the efforts of a venue and an agent/manager. Kim Yaffa Entertainment Consulting was launched to provide services to venues, performing arts centers, management, artists and producers.
For Venues:
Venues can become part of a beneficial “network” of participating venues which buy talent which is routing through a geographic area. It becomes less of an effort to buy talent and define and manage the contractual details which keep the presentation schedule fresh and interesting to ticket buyers. Venue management and marketing can get back to the business of selling the show.
For Artists,Talent and Agent/Managers:
The tour planning has started and it’s time consuming to find the venues and promoters who are looking for the next big thing to put on their stage. Industry connections and knowledge of the geography are what gets booking and tour routing accomplished from venue to venue.
