Pudgy Penguins, a top-ranked Non-Fungible Token (NFT) project, has had a significant new development. The team has joined forces with the prestigious Hollywood talent agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME). This deal will see the project focus on expanding their reach through strategic partnerships.

William Morris Endeavor, also known as WME, has a long-distinguished history dating back to 1898 when they emerged as one of the first talent agencies. After a merger with Endeavor in 2009, the company expanded its interests to include the media, entertainment and sports industries. In 2014, the global sports, events, media and fashion giant, IMG, was acquired by WME and the two firms became Endeavor.

The Pudgy Penguins project is the most popular NFT venture of its kind, generating $250.2 million in secondary market sales since its launch in July 2021. This success has resulted in the team establishing a line of physical figurines that come with a certificate of authenticity and proof of ownership registered on Ethereum.

Several other large-scale NFT initiatives have approached WME in the past, seeking representation contracts to expand their businesses and attract new audiences. These include co-founder of Dapper Labs Mack Flavelle, project Boss Beauties, artist pseudonym FEWOCiOUS and artist Claire Silver.

These partnerships have been mutually beneficial and could mean that NFT projects become more commonplace in the near future. The blockchain game studio Bitblox has recently used the Hxro Network, powered by Solana, to create a suite of web3 betting games. And the industry is becoming more reliable for investors, with data from CryptoSlam proving that Non-Fungible Token projects are increasingly profitable.
