Meet Nolan Gerard Funk. He’s been introduced to the teen scene as the star of the Nickelodeon TV movie “Spectacular!”.
Nolan Gerard Funk
This is a fun project for a marketer as you get to work with a blank canvas. He’s talked about in industry circles as the “next Zac Efron”. He could be as big as Zac, but in his own right. He’s got more marketable edge than Zac. He’s a little a older than Zac, so he can play the teen or get the “juicy” roles. And, oh yeah, the girls love him just as much.
Be on the lookout for Nolan. Like I said, he’s working with a blank canvas as Spectacular! kind of burst him on to the scene suddenly. He’s yet to put up a website, Myspace, Youtube, etc. but all of that is in the works, and he’s ready to strike while the iron is hot.
He would benefit a lot from launching his YouTube channel and seeding it by replying to all the videos already posted there from Spectacular fans. The girls love that stuff and would definitely respond and create a buzz that he is on the network. He already has some natural buzz happening on Facebook with a few fan created Fan Pages, one with over 1,500 people on it already.
It will be interesting to see what kind of plan rolls out with him and what movie role he takes up next. I’ll keep an eye on this roll out, watch plans early on like this one as you learn the most when you see the landscape from the very beginning.
