Which code does this activity belong in?
Agents and managers for artists represent and manage the careers of creative and performing talent through contract negotiation, financial management, and career promotion. These establishments differ from Performing Arts Companies, which directly produce and present live performances themselves, and from Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events, which organize and manage the events and facilities where performances occur. The boundary separates those who represent talent behind the scenes from those who either perform or stage the actual productions.
