Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. is a leading independent entertainment marketing and production company that delivers strategic publicity and promotional services across motion picture, television, music, gaming, culinary, hospitality, lifestyle, and charitable sectors, while also producing and distributing original film and digital content through its subsidiaries 42West, Shore Fire, The Door, Elle, The Digital Dept., and Special Projects, and its content production arm Dolphin Films.
Revenue is derived from agency fees for public relations, entertainment marketing, influencer talent management, brand campaign strategy, influencer event production, and celebrity booking, as well as from the production, licensing, and distribution of feature films and digital series, including box office receipts, streaming royalties, licensing fees, and revenue from co production and distribution agreements such as the IMAX/Amazon arrangement for The Blue Angels documentary and the Well Go deal for the Youngblood remake.
The company reports its operations in two distinct segments: an entertainment publicity and marketing segment and a content production segment.
- Entertainment publicity and marketing: This segment encompasses 42West (film, television, gaming PR), Shore Fire (music PR), The Door (culinary, hospitality, lifestyle PR), Elle (impact, philanthropy, nonprofit PR), The Digital Dept. (influencer talent management, brand campaign strategy, influencer event production), and Special Projects (celebrity booking and special events), collectively providing public relations, strategic communications, influencer marketing, experiential marketing, and celebrity talent booking services to clients across entertainment, lifestyle, consumer product, and nonprofit industries.
- Content production: This segment comprises Dolphin Films and Dolphin Digital Studios, which develop, produce, and distribute feature films, television programs, and digital series primarily targeting family and young adult audiences, earning revenue through production fees, distribution advances, licensing agreements, and streaming royalties, exemplified by the IMAX/Amazon co financing of The Blue Angels and the Well Go distribution agreement for the Youngblood reboot.
Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. holds a leading niche in the entertainment marketing arena, highlighted by its ranking as the number one public relations firm in the United States in 2025 by the New York Observer, and benefits from the strong market reputations of its subsidiary agencies, an experienced executive team with deep industry relationships, and a unique capability to bundle publicity, influencer, and celebrity booking services across multiple verticals, which creates cross selling opportunities and differentiates it from standalone PR firms, niche influencer agencies, and less diversified competitors.
The company serves a diverse client base that includes individual talent such as actors, musicians, chefs, and athletes, as well as corporate entities including major motion picture studios, television networks, streaming platforms, music labels, video game publishers, restaurant and hotel groups, lifestyle and consumer product brands, and nonprofit and philanthropic organizations.
