BuzzFeed video superstar Quinta Brunson has signed with leading talent agency ICM Partners.
Brunson, who has produced and starred in countless BuzzFeed clips -- including the viral 9 Perks Of Being Short, which has clocked roughly 8 million views on YouTube to date -- has generated over 50 million views for the publisher, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the signing. Brunson, 27, also created a BuzzFeed series for YouTube Red called Broke -- for which she was nominated for a Streamy Award this year in the ‘Acting In A Comedy’ category.

In just a few short years, Quinta Brunson went from a TV-loving college student to one of the Internet’s most popular viral content creators.
Longtime fans of Brunson’s likely first met her as The Girl Who’s Never Been on a Nice Date — or the girl who Milly Rocked on every block. But the 27-year-old has managed to expand her Internet fame, becoming one of the youngest content creators at BuzzFeed Motion Pictures, selling her first comedy series, Broke, to YouTube Red and earning a social media following so massive it would make even your favorite Instagram star jealous.
