Randy Jackson joins Faction
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 1 February 2017
Randy Jackson – the former ‘American Idol’ judge, not the one-time Jackson Five member – has joined Faction, which is – I’ll have you know – “a next-generation technology-enabled talent management services company”. And who wouldn’t one to join one of them?
Faction is the artist management services business set up by INgrooves founder Robb McDaniels in 2015, last seen announcing an alliance with Kobalt. The firm says it now has 25 artist managers operating under its umbrella, with younger managers Ethan Geltzer and Jeff DeLia also announced as part of the party this week.
Confirming his involvement, Jackson said: “I worked closely with Robb for several years when he was running INgrooves, and was impressed by the forward-thinking, service-oriented approach he built at that company. The world of talent management needed a similar approach and solution to help us all adapt to the realities and opportunities of the global marketplace, and Faction delivers the goods”.
Confirming all this, McDaniels himself said: “We are all THRILLED that Randy, Ethan and Jeff have joined our management company and will bring their unique perspectives and experiences into the fold. The artists they so passionately represent will benefit from the expanding suite of services our dedicated employees are here to provide and we look forward to helping them build the value of their management companies in the months to come”.
