Orlando, Fla. – July 29, 2010 –Nick Nanton, Esq., one of the country’s leading marketing and branding experts, known as The Celebrity Agent, was recently featured on MelRobbins.com.  Mel Robbins, a no-nonsense life and career coach and syndicated radio and TV personality, featured Nick’s latest blog for FastCompany.com, “Display Your Expertise.” The post also contains a video by Nick Nanton that reveals the secret to displaying your expertise “to rise above the sea of others in your market and dominate your competition.”

Mel Robbins also mentioned and praised Nick’s latest book, “Power Principles for Success,” which is a compilation of the thoughts of over 30 of America’s PremierExperts®. The book is loaded with practical, proven success principles you can use immediately to move ahead faster and achieve a life of greatness.

“Nick doesn’t just talk a good game, he puts his money where his mouth is. Yesterday, his latest book, Power Principles for Success, hit Amazon and became a best-seller in one day. We were lucky enough to get an advanced copy and it’s worth every penny of the $20 you’ll spend on it,” remarked Mel Robbins.

Nick Nanton, Esq. is known as “The Celebrity Agent” 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, USA Today, Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal, among others.

JW Dicks, Esq., business strategist and personal branding expert, along with Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent, recently discussed the staying power of the Harry Potter Brand.

Orlando, Fla. – July 29, 2010 – Co-founders of the Dicks + Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling authors, Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent and JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, were recently named Top 10 expert bloggers on FastCompany.com.

In one of their recent blog posts, titled “Harry Potter and Personal Branding,” Nick and JW discuss opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Florida, and how Universal is expanding the Harry Potter brand.

“While all looks great with Harry Potter and the investment Universal made, the naysayers have been wondering out loud if Harry Potter will indeed have legs for years to come, after the last movie is out,” write Dicks and Nanton.  “Just because J.K. Rowling doesn’t want to write any more books, doesn’t mean she won’t license different forms of Harry Potter adventures, from cartoons to video games. All of this brand continuity is up to Universal, who has both the burden and the opportunity, to make the Harry Potter brand stay fresh and make its product line continue to flow,” continued the authors.

“The lesson in all of this for us is to remember that we too must be vigilant with our own brands and work to keep them fresh with new ideas and expanding products that not only grow in number, but also lead into new business verticals and opportunities,” conclude the authors.

“If you run a printing company you’re only ever going to make a limited amount of money printing paper,” write Dicks and Nanton.  “But, if you can become an expert on how to print the paper, or more importantly how to create mailing campaigns that help people maximize their return on investment, you’re always going to get paid more money.  So you have to become an expert,” continued the authors.

“We all think that our clients and prospects can see inside of our heads, and they know exactly what we’re thinking. Obviously, that’s not true.  So…we’ve got to display our expertise,” write the authors.  Nick Nanton and JW Dicks delve into eight different strategies that are highly useful in doing just that.  Some of these strategies include getting into social media, starting a blog, writing articles, issuing press releases, providing newsletters for clients, writing books, offering special reports and providing other information products.

The Article, titled, “The ONE Thing You Can Do Right Now to Change Your Income, Business and Lifestyle,” was the featured cover story in the Summer 2010 edition of the magazine.

“Everyone in business is always looking for the magic pill.  The ‘one thing’ you can do in your business that will change everything overnight,” write Dicks and Nanton.  “Some of us even thought we found the magic pill and bought it – until we realized that what we really bought was a great tool, service, or system, but it was overhyped,” continued the authors.

JW Dicks is one of America’s leading experts on using personal branding to build a business.  JW emphasizes branding, and the importance of online marketing and social media to his clients and gives them strategies to expand their business in the current economy.

Nick Nanton, Esq. is known as “The Celebrity Agent” 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, USA Today, Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal, among others.

Here is another excerpt from the article:

We’re sorry to say that a magic pill doesn’t really exist, however there is one thing that can have the same effect.  One thing you can do today, that can change your business, your income and your lifestyle, tomorrow. And that one thing is to alter your current Position in the marketplace to create more value for others.  Creating a position that will allow you to go from being a commodity in the marketplace, to becoming a scarcity.  That one simple change can increase your income ten-fold, literally overnight.

Nick Nanton, Esq. and JW Dicks, Esq., personal branding experts and top ten expert bloggers on FastCompany.com, discuss the media and LeBron James in a new blog featured on FastCompany.com.

Orlando, Fla. – July 13, 2010 – Co-founders of the Dicks + Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling authors, Nick Nanton, Esq., Celebrity Agent and JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, were recently named top ten expert bloggers on FastCompany.com.  Their most recent blog featured on the site, explores the frenzy surrounding the recent LeBron James “Decision” media blitz, specifically his ability to control the media and manage his personal brand.

The latest blog, titled “LeBron, The Media, and Your Message,” was featured on July 9^th, 2010, under the leadership section of FastCompany.com.   Dicks and Nanton explain how “companies must take control of their own brand message and use their own media to do so when possible.” The piece includes the following excerpt:

In a world where athletes and celebrities now have their own direct relationship with fans through social media channels, they can not only deliver the news, they can bring the eyeballs to watch the announcement. When the fans have fun and the media and the celebrity make money, who is to complain except the purist–and that cat is out of the bag.

Even though you may not have superstar status in your own market, don’t miss the point that this same formula can also be used in other ways. Local announcements of sports events or celebrity appearances can be used to create your own media appearances where you act as host, agent, deal maker, or sponsor depending on the role that best helps to elevate your personal brand. Use of news to expand your brand is not a new idea, but it’s taking on a new form that offers lots of opportunities.
