Renowned talent agency WME has added to its growing digital roster by welcoming Jake Paul into the fold. The 20-year-old, who rose to fame on now-defunct Vine and who is the younger brother of fellow influencer and frequent collaborator Logan Paul — who is repped by CAA — also stars on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark.
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.Earlier this year, Paul cinched $1 million in funding to launch TeamDom, a digital production, marketing, and management company. TeamDom also comprises a creator collective spearheaded by Paul that headlined a DigiTour outing last fall.
Other top influencers that have signed with WME in recent months include Meg DeAngelis, David Dobrik, WolfieRaps, Joanne The Scammer, Jesse Wellens, Mark Fischbach, Jon Cozart, Andrea Russett, and The Eh Bee Family.
