Media & Entertainment Contacts: Reaching the People Who Buy

5 min read

LeadQuasar holds 245,305 Media & Entertainment contacts, and every one of them (100%) has an email address, a phone number, a company website and a person's name. They are person-level records with a job title, and Owner and President are the two most common. The work here is not finding enough people. It is cutting a quarter-million records down to the few thousand who actually buy what you sell.

Treat it as a label, not a market

"Media & Entertainment" covers studios, publishers, agencies, venues, production houses, music businesses, streaming start-ups and a long tail of small firms that picked the label themselves. The job titles show how mixed it is:

Title Contacts
Owner 20,545
President 18,955
Manager 5,891
Marketing Manager 5,344
Chief Executive Officer 4,924
Vice President 4,571
Associate 3,545
Chief Operating Officer 3,457
Operations Manager 2,472
Real Estate Agent 2,464

That last row matters. 2,464 people in this category hold a Real Estate Agent title, which tells you some records sit here because of how a company described itself, not because of what the person does. If you sell production services, those contacts are noise. Filter by title before you unlock anything, and read the company name on each record.

The two biggest titles also tell you what kind of company you are looking at. Owner and President together make up a large block, and at most media firms that small, the owner signs every vendor contract. At the larger companies, the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer titles are where budget sits, and the Marketing Manager is the person who feels the problem day to day.

Mapping the media & entertainment data

The list covers every state plus Washington, DC, but two states hold the bulk of it.

State Contacts
New York 48,322
California 45,761
Florida 11,049
Georgia 10,539
Texas 10,419
Pennsylvania 8,276

Illinois (7,732), Virginia (6,146) and Massachusetts (6,139) follow.

The city view is more useful than the state view, because media work clusters around specific places:

  • New York City, with 41,125 contacts, is where publishing, advertising and broadcast headquarters sit.
  • Los Angeles County splits across Los Angeles (8,626), Burbank (5,569), Beverly Hills (2,762) and Santa Monica (2,279). Burbank is studio and post-production country; Beverly Hills leans toward agencies and management firms.
  • Atlanta has 5,528 contacts, and nearby Alpharetta adds 2,835. Georgia's film production base makes it a real target for crew, equipment and location vendors.
  • Nashville (1,822) is the obvious place to look for music publishing and recording.

Washington, DC has 4,089 contacts, mostly worth checking if you sell to media that covers government and policy.

Match the pitch to the kind of media company

Because the category is broad, one message will not fit it. Split your list by the company type you can read from the name and website, and write a separate opener for each:

  • Production and post-production. They buy on schedule. Equipment rental, stages, insurance and payroll services sell on availability and turnaround for the next project.
  • Publishers and broadcasters. They buy software, ad tech, distribution and freelance talent. Budgets tend to be planned, so ask about the next budget cycle.
  • Agencies and management. Small teams, owner-led. Pitch time saved or clients kept.
  • Venues and live events. Ticketing, staffing, security and concessions. Call in the quiet weeks between their busy seasons.

Every record carries a website, so a quick look before you write tells you which bucket a company belongs in.

A 100% email figure still needs care

Every record has an email, and 245,065 of them sit in the VERIFIED tier, with just 240 in STANDARD. That is a strong starting point, but media companies turn over staff quickly and people move between projects, so an address that was good when collected can go stale. Run a check before a large send; our guide on how to verify an email address covers the method. Keep each campaign to a single title and city, follow CAN-SPAM and any state rules, and you will learn quickly which segment replies.
