Hire Nalts
Most brands are looking for appropriate ways to engage consumer via online video, but many embark upon costly, embarrassing or futile projects. Meanwhile there’s no shortage of amateur video creators who are brimming with talent, have knowledge of the online video community, and often have established “subscribers” and audiences. Some are in it for the fun, but others welcome the opportunity to create sponsored, entertaining videos for additional income.
I’m Kevin Nalts, a former Johnson & Johnson marketer and by day a Consumer Marketing Director at a Fortune 100 firm. By night I’m “Nalts,” one of the most-viewed YouTube comedians with nearly 600 videos, garnering more than 25 million views. I’m not the most strategic marketer in the world nor the greatest video creator. But I do understand how online-video entertainment and marketing can converge appropriately, and I’ve never found something so professionally invigorating as this rapidly expanding viral-video space. It’s changing the way we interact with each other, and smart brands are leveraging this visceral medium to engage with consumers like never before possible. For me, my hobby and profession have wonderfully collided via online video. Man that sounds nerdy.
This blog provides education about online video, and how marketers and creators can partner to produce entertaining promotional videos. I’m currently employed full-time, but I occasionally speak, write and consult with brands (although not related to healthcare marketing, since that’s my day job).
To learn more about viral-video marketing and entertainment, please keep reading this blog or check out my free eBook. To read more about me, see my bio. Here are a few of the things I do for brands in my “spare” time…
- Custom promotional videos. For $3K-$10K, I makes custom promotional videos (which can
appear on my frequently-viewed YouTube channel and 11 other online video site). Sponsored videos are always identified as such. I speak with brands to understand the marketing goal (branding, direct response, PR, lead generation, engaging with customers, etc.). Then I produce a “creative brief,” and a series of creative concepts that strike a balance between entertainment (to ensure broad distribution) and subtle but effective promotion. Sometimes I connect the brand or agency to other creators. If I produce the video, I produce several rounds of revisions with a typical turnaround of is 4-6 weeks. For more information, please contact me aggressively at the e-mail address below. See this post for more information about hiring video creators and how the process works. - I’ve produced entertaining sponsored videos for such sponsors as these (click names to see demos).
- Public speaking. I speak at numerous conferences and corporate marketing events, and can address online video, consumer-generated media, viral video and online marketing. To avoid conflicts with the day job I cannot speak about healthcare marketing or be identified by my employer’s name. I’ve spoken at AdTech, DIY Film Festival, and iMediaConnections, and corporate events at such companies as Intercontinental Group, Spunlogic, and Cox Communications. As a former KPMG Consulting employee and interactive agency guy, I know how to inform and entertain, but you’ll have to yank me off the stage.
- Online-Video Workshop for Marketers. See this post to learn about how I help marketers improve the uptake of viral-video marketing campaigns.
Small consulting projects related to online video, video contests, online advertising, and marketing in the new age of consumer-generated media. My rate is $250 an hour, which varies based on time.- Media (no charge obviously). My stuff has appeared on numerous stations (CNN, Fox, BBC, ABC) and I’ve has been cited in various publications including the Wall Street Journal and Advertising Age. If you are a reporter please contact me at the address below with the subject header “MEDIA INQUIRY.” Here’s an interview I did with Fox. And this Fox appearance had me discussing YouTube’s revenue sharing. I published a recent book “How to Become Popular on YouTube Without Any Talent” (see TechCrunch) and “Best of Nalts: Volume 1″ DVD.
Contact information (sorry- this is a highly-spammed address, so please use all caps in subject header that indicate purpose… if I don’t respond within 24 hours it’s likely the note got buried in garbage):

Finally, I found a website that I can watch just one video a day all year, and see something totally off the wall and funny. Where’s your Emmy, man?
Nalts, you have a gift and you use it well. Laughter goes hand in hand with Joy. The ability you have to whip these videos out of your mind, displays your true heart! Your family is very lucky to have you, especially your children. I can’t remember the last time I got in a garbage can (If I can fit) and have my wife bowl me over in my front yard. Halarious!
Best wishes,
I hope someone will hire me one day, of course I’m not quite the marketing genius you are Nalts.
hey Nalts and Nalts fans…
i think you might enjoy some good wholesome humor on my comedy blog at www.fatawesome.com .
I wish I was Nalts.
Good Man…
Good Man…
Nalts how much to have you at a Birthday party or New Year’s Party? Come on out to Arizona when B. Slater comes out!
I like churning chowder for Channuka. Choose cheese!
I really really want to hire you for something!!! I will think of something… I will! I will! When I become really really wealthy, I’d like to hire you full time (you’d only have to hang for a couple of hours) to tape my life… and play pranks on people…. Making laughter a full time job… ahhhhhh… you make the world a beautiful place!
Soon, you’re actually going to have to be funny to get views, rather than simply being annoying

Horseface says ‘Teenage fart boy hilarious!!! Classic Nalts!!’
Strangely enough Me and a good friend did this at a tourist attraction in the UK called Blackpool, but we used the ball that you put the powder in that you put in the washing machine on our bellies to make fart noises. We feigned having eaten a hot spicy Indian Rogun Josh curry, bent over and farted wildly!!! We got pure and wonderful reactions!!
Nurse!!! Bring the hypodermic!!!
Horseface says ‘Neigh for world peace
Hi Kevin,
I have this site that started as a joke and turned into something amazing. I love your stuff and think you will relate to it. I wound up putting together an academy award nominated director of photography, two LA casting directors, and a motley but talented production crew to create an interactive experience where a hooker with a heart of gold and a sense of humor gives advice on men and women.
The site is about to launch and I am looking for a consultant to help plan how to promote it. I’d be honored if you would spend the time to take a look at it and contact me if you think you could be of help.
It’s password protected before it launches, so you need to log into askallura.com with

Your fan,

Hi, Nalts. I watch your youtube videos all the time and I see you have almost 600 and in the past two years, were all those videos filmed in the past two years or just added? And also, how do you think of so many ideas that havent been done yet? You can leave answers on my comments box on youtube (username:Tlev1023) or here. Thanks a lot, love your videos.
Or you can leave a response on my E-mail, Tlev1023@aol.com, sorry
