AdAge Celebrates YouTube Sellouts

ByNalts

AdAge called out the biggest YouTube sellouts— those known for sponsored videos for top brands. Naturally my headline would have read “YouTube’s Most Prolific Sponsored Artists” had I been included in the list. For those of you whose nipples don’t get pointy when you hear words like “advertising, marketing, Mad Men, spot, creative brief, storyboards,…

Weirder Book Comments Anyone?

ByNalts

So the book site (BeyondViral) is pretty darned live for this weeks’ official release. Now c’mon WillVideoForFood “backrowers.” You’ve done majestically on Amazon’s ratings. Let’s show David M. Scott (he’s like the Fred of social media) how fun people respond to blogs. He and Steve Garfield helped get me into Wiley’s New Rules for Social…

  3. I remember when I turned 40. I decided to kill myself. I set a pretty long time line for that, about 65 years. I am right on track! 56 years and counting!

    Happy Birthday! You broken down old Viral Video film maker guy you..

  4. Happy Birthday, old person.

  6. Who’s Nalts?

    Holy Hell, 40!!! Is the Queen of England like your sister or something? That’s old! =)

    Happy Birthday buddy!

  9. What, you’re 40? Don’t worry about it. I’ve heard in recent studies that 40 years old is the average age for a crazy uncle who wears a lampshade on his head at parties, so you at least have that to look forward to.
