Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Lawyer and Agent to Celebrity Experts, was recently interviewed by CNN for a story discussing celebrities and the effects of negative branding.

Orlando, Fla. – December 23, 2010 – Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency and best-selling author, Nick Nanton, Esq., was recently featured and quoted in a CNN.com article discussing some of 2010’s celebrity scandals and the effects that these events have on their brand.

The CNN.com article, “2010 Obsessions: New Scandals, Old Faces,” was written by Lisa Respers France.  Ms. France delved into some of 2010’s most notable celebrity scandals involving Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and others.  Personal branding expert, Nick Nanton, Esq., was asked how these events could negatively impact a celebrity’s brand.  Below is an excerpt from the article:

Even the old adage that “all publicity is good publicity,” can wear thin if a star keeps repeating the same bad behavior, said celebrity attorney and branding expert Nick Nanton.

Adoring fans are only willing to forgive so much, Nanton said.

“Everyone for the most part is allowed to make a mistake,” he said. “Like they say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Once the public starts to feel like they are being fooled or duped, that’s when a star is going to have problems with their brand.”

“Becoming a celebrity doesn’t change who you are, it just puts whoever you are on steroids,” said Nanton.

Nick Nanton, Esq. is known as The Celebrity Lawyer and Agent to Celebrity Experts for his role in developing and marketing business and professional experts into Celebrity Experts in their field, through personal branding, to help them gain credibility and recognition for their accomplishments. Nick’s expertise on branding and marketing has been sought out and featured in the Los Angeles Times, Orlando Sentinel, The Chicago Tribune, The California Chronicle, DailyMe.com, FastCompany.com, CNN.com, USA Today, Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal, among others.

About The Black Rabbits:

The Black Rabbits formed on a hot winter night in Orlando by Jetson & Skyler Black. Little did they know at the time that what they were creating would take on the essence of that warm winter night. “Our music is a bit of an oxymoron,” says lead vocalist Jetson. “It’s loud yet soft, edgy yet pure, it has retro elements and modern ones, it’s both serious and playful at the same time… It’s a kind of like taking Neil Diamond and putting him as the lead of Nirvana.” Consisting of the two brothers along with bassist Reah Smith and organist Kim Drakeley the group accompanies a mix of classic and alternative indie rock elements with influences such as The Who, The Pixies, The White Stripes, and The Doors.

In early 2010, still virtually unknown, the band released their first debut EP produced by Billy Chapin and Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. The EP peaked at #96 on the CMJ TOP 200 and stayed around for over two months along side huge bands such as The Flaming Lips. As their EP climbed the college radio charts The Black Rabbits scrapped together what cash they could and toured the east coast. “It seemed like every show we played was accompanied by a huge thunder storm; like there was a black cloud following us the whole time,” remarks drummer Skyler Black. Still, that didn’t stop people from showing up and soon after the blogs and indie zines were buzzing. The Miami New Times writes, “There’s a feel-good, timeless bounce to the songs that should appeal to Boomer parents as much as twentysomethings in Converse.” OurStage writes, “Like a train that chugs along and suddenly threatens to go off the tracks, The Black Rabbits brooding, theatrical garage rock makes for an exciting ride.”

During this time The Black Rabbits had garnered some mainstream attention that led them to being invited to play the Grammy Showcase during the Florida Music Fest, interviewed by MTV as an up and coming band, featured on Fox News, as well as being placed in television shows across the networks such as Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Bad Girls. The Black Rabbits recently signed with Rock Ridge Music and are currently gearing up to release their debut full-length album with producers Stan & Billy.

Marie continued, “Given the economic times, domestic abuse has been on the rise, so services from organizations like Next Door Solutions are very important.  I have a friend who, today, will be taking someone there to help her through a bad situation – NOT something you want to deal with during the holidays.”
