Expand Entertainment is, well, expanding its roster. The talent management firm, which works with some of the top stars in the online video community, has announced three signings: YouTube stars Jon “Paint” Cozart and Marla Catherine, as well as WWE standout CJ Perry.
The creators who are joining Expand’s roster of talent all count millions of followers. Cozart, who hosted the 2017 Streamy Awards, is known for his musical comedy, including his heralded “After Ever After” videos. The third installment in that series recently arrived on Cozart’s Paint channel.
