It was founded in 2018 under the name Margravine Management, as Sugg and Lee expressed interest in pivoting from content creation to the entertainment business.{{Cite web |last=Weiss |first=Geoff |date=2018-06-07 |title=Joe Sugg And Caspar Lee Launch 'Margravine' Talent Firm With Strategic Partner IMG |url=https://www.tubefilter.com/2018/06/07/joe-sugg-caspar-lee-margravine-management/ |access-date=2024-09-11 |website=Tubefilter |language=en-US}} It was cited to be the first company to offer talent led support in the influencer industry.
