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.

When I met Nick and Jack, my business was called Total Census Solutions, which was relevant to the niche I first started in (Senior Housing), but to the rest of the world it was confusing and very forgettable. Just by reviewing my Bio, before we even had much time to speak, Nick and Jack shot back a bunch of ideas about how my business was really centered around getting people the maximum ROI in their advertising, and spun out The ROI Guy brand for me. In the past 2 years since they helped me reinvent my brand, my business has taken off! Now everywhere I go, people call me the ROI Guy, which is fun, however, the most important thing is they also know where to call when they need solutions for tracking their marketing campaigns and getting the greatest ROI! Oh yeah, and they also like to have a bit of fun too!

“Nick, the weekend in Hollywood was great… your program is terrific and I really appreciate the speakers you brought in.”

When we first met Nick and Jack, we were floundering a little with our training business…we had all of the pieces, but didn’t have a cohesive vision or strategy of where it could take us. Since working with them, we have put more systems into our office, we are looking at the marketing (and the results of that marketing!) in a whole new light, our website actually looks like a professional did it, AND we have an awesome vision for our company that will allow us to retire in just a few short years. Sometimes we get so busy in the day to day “stuff” of our businesses that we forget to stop and look AT our businesses, The Dicks + Nanton Agency has afforded us an impartial outsiders’ view of our own business and the potential that it has.

“Hi this is Kimberlee Frank “The Real Estate Junkie” and I am writing to let you know how joining America’s PremierExperts® made a difference in my life. First off, I have shared the stage with a lot of people. However, it was always me having to impress my audience. Now, thanks to America’s PremierExperts®, I have a long list of credentials that allows me to get on any stage. The media coverage was out of this world. The friendship with Jack, Nick, and Lindsay is something that can not be replaced, we will always be connected. I have written many courses and wanted to write a book but never seemed to find time. With the help of America’s PremierExperts®, they made it happen and not in years but everything was done in just 12 months. I just wanted to say “Thanks”. I couldn’t have gotten this type of media coverage, book, and
I want to thank Nick and Jack for helping me make my dreams a reality. I came to them seeking advice for growing my business. Other people in the past have told me that my ideas and dreams for my business were unattainable. Jack and Nick teamed up with me to brand myself and have opened doors that, in the past, were closed. They have opened my mind to see all of the different ways to make my business successful and to take it to the next level. Thanks to them, today, I am in a position to achieve my business goals and am creating financial freedom for my family and my business partners.

“I chose Dicks Nanton Agency because they get it. A lot of people provide marketing and PR but I was impressed with their ability to understand what drives a customer to do business with you. That’s pretty rare. I really felt that I needed a fresh vision in my business to help us pull off the extraordinary for our clients. I’m looking to Dicks Nanton Agency to provide fresh insight into Florida Leisure Vacation Homes and to help me take it to the next level,”
