Cobra Agency and Independent Artist Group (IAG) have announced an alliance designed to create more international opportunities for their artists.
The partnership combines the agencies’ experience and networks while preserving their separate identities and rosters. Artist development and collaboration across markets are central to the agreement.
Founded in Salzburg in 2017, Cobra represents leading rock and metal acts including Slipknot, Sabaton and Godsmack. IAG brings a broad international roster spanning multiple genres.
Cobra co-founders Günther Beer and Dominik Meyer and IAG’s Nick Storch see the alliance as a way to deepen an established working relationship and support the long-term growth of their artists’ live careers.
