Earlier this year Innovative Artists received investment from Los Angeles-based strategic investment firm Coral Tree Partners. Coral Tree takes a minority stake in the agency, which will continue to be led by Innovative Founder and CEO Scott Harris and his management team. The investment from Coral Tree accelerated Innovative Artists Entertainment’s expansion by enhancing the resources to support its agents and a growing roster of talent.
The company’s literary department has added the likes of Martin To, Martin Spencer, Andy Patman, Margaret Mendelson and Ian Greenstein over the last 12 months.
Back in May, Innovative inked David Marshall Grant, who was previously showrunner of ABC’s Brothers & Sisters.
