TAIT acquires Silent House Group

TAIT, a global leader in the live experience industry, has announced the acquisition of Silent House Group, an Emmy Award-winning production studio and creative agency that designs and produces large-scale events.

This deal brings together top-tier technical execution and forward-thinking creative design, and offers artists, promoters, and productions a platform for delivering touring, experiential, and broadcast productions at the highest level.

Unlocking new opportunities

By joining forces, TAIT and Silent House Group bring together creative, technical, and delivery expertise to create productions of any scale.

Their combined strengths will design and deliver visually spectacular, smarter, and more cost-effective shows, from initial concepts to the final show and beyond.

Adam Davis, CEO, TAIT, says: "We believe creating memorable moments for audiences and performers is worth building for, so we’re excited to officially come together with the renowned team at Silent House Group.

"By unifying two trusted industry experts, our goal is to help our partners to collectively align the creative, technical, financial, and logistical reality of their projects and ideally unlock new opportunities beyond the show."

Over more than four decades of experience, TAIT has established a reputation as a staging and automation provider for touring productions and has set the benchmark for live experiences in theatres, theme parks, cruise ships, brand activations, and festivals worldwide.

It has extensively partnered with Silent House Group on projects such as Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour; Tyler, the Creator’s Chromakopia Tour; Backstreet Boys’ Into The Millennium Sphere Residency; Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour; Jonas Brothers’ Greetings from Your Hometown Tour; and many others.

Baz Halpin, founder and CEO, Silent House Group, says: "TAIT has been our trusted partner for years. By formally aligning, we’re expanding what we can do together and streamlining the creative and technical process—allowing us to bring our clients’ ideas to life faster and more economically, without compromising the artistic vision.

"We look forward to unlocking the potential of live experiences with our fellow industry creatives and tapping into our new in-house capabilities with TAIT."

Nishen Radia and B. Riley Securities acted as exclusive financial advisor to Silent House. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP served as legal counsel to Silent House. Dechert LLP served as legal counsel to TAIT.

Last year, TAIT publicly launched Feltboard, an innovative cloud-based platform for creating, managing, and sharing stories in physical spaces, developed in partnership with Google.
