Breaking: Pollstar To Move To Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) Oak View Group has just announced it is moving the headquarters of Pollstar to OVG’s Los Angeles office, and that founder Gary Bongiovanni will be leaving at the end of June.

How the move will affect current staffing is uncertain. What is known is that Pollstar’s editorial will be run out of Los Angeles (but that has been the case since November) and the sales operations will remain the same (but sales had already shifted to OVG’s sales department, especially regarding the Pollstar Live! conference). As had been anticipated, Bob Allen, former manager of Billboard Boxscore, has joined OVG’s Media & Conferences division (how this affects the traditional Pollstar boxoffice department run by Brad Rogers and Chad Ivie is not yet known). Jon Guynn has also joined OVG as VP of operations.
