Creative Artists Agency and the 2008 FEC election cycle

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.

97 contributions from 31 donors

Dividing $231,251 by 97 contributions yields about $2,384 per itemized gift. Dividing by 31 donors yields about $7,460 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.1. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

31 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Creative Artists Agency 2008 holds the rows.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Creative Artists Agency is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Creative Artists Agency to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $231,251 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 97 contributions, the 31 unique donors, and the 4.6% share of $5,071,735.

Limits of the Creative Artists Agency × 2008 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $231,251. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not an entertainment NAICS total and not a CAA PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 31 donors, and 97 contributions. CAA, CREATIVE ARTISTS, WME, and generic TALENT AGENT occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Creative Artists Agency and 2008 together

Start with $231,251, then Creative Artists Agency 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Creative Artists Agency, 2008, $231,251, 97 contributions, 31 donors, 4.6% of $5,071,735, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.6% share, the 31-donor count, and the $2,384 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
