Key figures

  • Creative Artists Agency × 2008 is $231,251 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 97 contributions from 31 donors.
  • 2008 is about 4.6% of the grouping’s $5,071,735 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not an entertainment NAICS total and not a CAA PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Creative Artists Agency crossed with 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Creative Artists Agency and 2008 — sum to $231,251. 97 itemized contributions and 31 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. CREATIVE ARTISTS AGENCY is grouped employer text. The 2008 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not list clients, commissions, or agency departments.

Neither the Creative Artists Agency hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Creative Artists Agency hub is the year index for this string. CAA, CREATIVE ARTISTS, and TALENT AGENT occupation titles stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal arts awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

4.6% of the CAA roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5.1 million ($5,071,735). The 2008 slice of $231,251 is about 4.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.4%. Treating 2008 as the Creative Artists Agency FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,071,735 as the denominator for the 4.6% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $5,071,735.
