CSM’s Middle East entities will rebrand at a later date.
The deal has increased Wasserman’s international portfolio and “the geographic reach to provide tailored services and an unrivaled network of relationships, skills, and specialisms to leading brands, properties, and talent across 27 countries and 62 cities worldwide.”
The company now has an expanded presence across Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North and South America.
