Nick Nanton, Esq., personal branding expert and co-founder of the Celebrity Branding Agency®, was recently featured in an Orlando Sentinel article about the importance of artists having an entertainment attorney

Orlando, Fla. – March 5, 2010 – Best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Lawyer and co-founder of the Celebrity Branding Agency®, was recently quoted in an Orlando Sentinel article titled, “Showbiz Dreams? You’re Going to Need a Lawyer,” written by Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel Movie Critic. The article stressed the importance of entertainment lawyers for those aspiring to be successful musicians, writers, actors and so on. Nick is a musician turned-turned-entertainment lawyer based in Orlando, Fla. and has worked with several bands and musicians including Between the Trees, The Black Rabbits, Johnny Bulford, Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Matt Collins, John McMillan, Michael J, A Day to Remember and others.

In the article, Nick was asked about various aspects of getting started in the entertainment business, and what steps can be taken to protect the artist as they venture into a industry that can sometimes be super-competitive. “Entertainment law is a complicated field for anybody to navigate,” said Nanton. One example given by Nick is as simple as finding out if your band name has already been used. “So many bands I run into have thrown up a Facebook page for their group without even finding out if somebody else got to that name first. Instant interstate trademark infringement problems.”

In addition to the Orlando Sentinel, the article also ran nationwide in such publications as The Chicago Tribune, The California Chronicle and DailyMe.com

Nick Nanton, Esq. is also known as “The Celebrity Lawyer” for his role in developing and marketing business and professional experts into Celebrity Experts in their field to help them gain credibility and recognition for their accomplishments.

Nick Nanton, Esq., personal branding expert and co-founder of the Celebrity Branding Agency®, was recently added to the UCF staff to give a series of lectures at the University of Central Florida; Nick’s Book “Celebrity Branding You®” was also named as the course text book.

Orlando, Fla. – February 2, 2010 – Best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Lawyer and co-founder of the Celebrity Branding Agency®, a Media, Marketing, PR & Business Development agency, is preparing a series of guest lectures at the University of Central Florida. Nick has been asked to speak as part of ART 3945 BFA Seminar (Bachelor of Fine Art) course. This course is the professional exit orientation class for all majors completing the BFA degree.

Professor Robert Reedy said, “I asked Nick to join the staff in order to bring a ‘real world’ view point to the topics of professional self promotion, branding and communication…not to mention some of the legal and contractual issues regarding their art work.”

“Many universities never prepare their students for entrance into an art world that is immersed in business and self-promotion on a daily basis. Students who are not prepared to handle these issues, while remembering it is their art work that is always their main priority, will surely fail in the pursuit of their chosen profession. It’s almost guaranteed,” Reedy continued.

The UCF Department of Art and Digital Media have recently merged into one School of Visual Art and Design. This merger has created a new school of approximately 1,200 majors making them one of the largest visual art schools in the country.

“It is important for students to realize there is a huge adjustment between the protected and often closed environment of a university education and the real world of art. Nick’s presence will help us create a new paradigm for these students,” remarked Reedy.

Nick’s best-selling book, “Celebrity Branding You®: a Revolutionary System for Entrepreneurs and Professionals to Become the Go-To Expert, Dominate Your Field and Eliminate the Competition,” co-written with personal branding expert, JW Dicks, Esq., has been assigned as the course textbook.

Nick Nanton, Esq. co-founder of the Celebrity Branding Agency™, was recently a guest on the Steven Kay Show on CNN 650 in Houston, Tex., discussing the power of marketing, branding and social media for companies, large and small.

Orlando, Fla. – October 7, 2009 – Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Lawyer and co-founder of the Celebrity Branding Agency™, a franchisor of independently owned and operated Media, Marketing & PR agencies across the country, was recently a guest on “Life, Business and Money with Steven Kay,” a radio show broadcast on CNN 650 Radio News in Houston, Tex.

In 2004, Steven Kay started to work on a radio program that helped people achieve financial success. However, Steven knew that success depended on much more than just money. How we run our business, even how we manage our personal lives impacts this as well. He wanted to show people all the different aspects of life that cause both success and failure, everything from our health, lifestyle, marketing and advertising, technology, budgeting, investing, and more.

This idea became the premise for “Life, Business and Money”, the radio show that discusses every area of life and how they affect our success and productivity. Of course, Steven is not the expert in all of these areas, so he has put together a panel of advisors and guests who are the most knowledgeable about their specific industry.

On September 28, 2009, Steven’s guest was Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Lawyer and co-founder of The Celebrity Branding Agency™, Nick specializes in Celebrity Branding® entrepreneurs, authors, speakers and professionals as celebrity experts in their field of business and helps them expand nationwide.
