Renowned talent agency WME has added to its growing digital roster by welcoming Jake Paul into the fold.

Paul also appeared in the YouTube Red feature film Dance Camp and counts 20 million social followers across all of his channels, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which was first to report the signing. Paul’s YouTube channel averages 80 million viewers and adds 1 million new subscribers every month. He will continue to be managed by Alexander Shekarchian at ASManagement and represented by attorney Phil Daniels at Ginsburg Daniels.
