Creative Artists Agency’s global touring department will have three newly promoted agents, the entertainment and sports company announced Wednesday. The agency promoted Blair Adour, Jibran Ahmed and Sam Reisman to the role of agent, and all three were developed through the CAA Elevate program, a curriculum that trains employees in entrepreneurialism, inclusion, curiosity, collaboration, service and having a growth mindset.

Adour is based in New York and has been with the agency since 2021. She previously worked as a coordinator at Paradigm Talent Agency and has a master’s degree in music business from NYU as well as a bachelor’s degree in communications and media studies from the State University of New York in Oswego.

Ahmed, who is based in Los Angeles, joined CAA’s music crossover division in 2018 and was promoted to professional in 2023. He has a degree in business administration and management from the University of Michigan and previously worked as an associate in Capital One’s Finance Rotation Program.

Reisman’s CAA journey started in 2019 as an assistant in the music touring department. The University of Michigan graduate served as coordinator before being accepted into CAA Elevate in February and previously worked at Live Nation as a tour representative, at Republic Records in A&R and at Roc Nation in creative marketing.

CAA is one of the leading agencies in the world, with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, Memphis, Chicago, Miami, London, Munich, Geneva, Stockholm, Shanghai and Beijing, among other locations. The agency was responsible for booking four of the top 10 acts on Pollstar’s Year End Top Worldwide Tours 2023 chart: Beyoncé (grossing $579.8 million), Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band ($402.2 million) along with BPB Consulting, Harry Styles ($290.5 million) and The Weeknd (nearly $221 million).
