Influencers Mo and Quinta Brunson Prove Social Media Can Launch TV Careers
Mo, a prominent influencer, praises 'Dancing With the Stars' for acknowledging social media followings. Meanwhile, Quinta Brunson's hit show 'Abbott Elementary' is set for its fifth season, marking a shift in the entertainment industry's perception of online influence.
Quinta Brunson, who started her career with Instagram skits a decade ago, has proven that a strong social media presence can translate into traditional TV success. Benito Skinner, who gained fame on TikTok, also made the leap to TV with Hulu's 'Overcompensating'.
Lauren Palmer, a talent agent at Palette Media, argues that a large online following can act as a fast track to acting jobs. However, Josh DeAngelis of the same agency notes that not all creators are willing to put in the effort to break into the industry. Mo (@ThatDollMo) is among those aspiring to transition their influencer career to traditional acting platforms.
While Hollywood has historically been the ultimate goal for aspiring stars, social media has opened new paths to success. Shows like 'Abbott Elementary' and 'Overcompensating' demonstrate that online influence can translate into traditional entertainment careers, with agents like Lauren Palmer advocating for the recognition of social media followings.
