Greg Suess (JD/MBA '96) Launches New Artist Management Company

Suess is a joint JD/MBA graduate


Greg Suess (JD/MBA ’96) has exited the management company he co-founded in 2004 to form Activist Artists Management. The new company will oversee a roster of top recording artists, actors, writers, industry icons, brands, and high net worth family offices. Suess will advise clients at Activist across a wide range of transactions, content strategies, seed and growth capital, strategic alliances, joint venture agreements, licensing agreements, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions, and marketing and distribution agreements. He will also continue to advise Activist’s clients in their non-profit endeavors.

Suess told us, “Activist’s mission of making a positive impact in the world universally aligns with Pepperdine’s values of purpose, service and leadership.”

Via Activist Artists Management:

Bernie Cahill and Greg Suess, founding partners of Roar, along with fellow partner and Head of Roar’s Nashville office Matt Maher have launched Activist Artists Management, a full-service talent management, integrated media and advisory firm. Activist will provide comprehensive management services for its clients including music management, talent and brand management, and film and TV development. The new company will at all times focus on innovation as well as artists and brands that resonate globally.
