• Consolidation is here: The first half of 2025 saw 52 M&A deals in the creator economy
• Publicis Groupe entered the creator space with a $500M Influential acquisition. Now it’s picking up Captiv8 too.

  Financial details of Captiv8's acquisition are not being released, but Publicis said the company (like Influential) will continue operating independently, but under the close umbrella of its Connected Media unit. Captiv8 CEO Krishna Subramanian will remain in charge.
