According to the official Twitter, the NFT Pudgy Penguins project has announced that the Hollywood agency WME has become its official agency.
Founded in 1898, WME is the longest-running talent agency.

In 2014, WME acquired IMG, a global sports, events, media, and fashion leader, to form Endeavor.
Pudgy Penguins joins a growing list of big-name NFT projects that have sought Hollywood representation contracts as a way to expand their brands and audiences.

At the end of March, the project soft-launched physical Pudgy Penguin figurines that come with a certificate of authenticity and proof of ownership recorded on Ethereum.
