It’s official… in addition to pursuing my own social-media marketing startup (more on that soon), I’m the chief strategic officer of Hitviews.com, a company that helps top brands reach large audiences via the most-watched online-video stars.
But don’t hate me because I’m strategical, mkay?
If you don’t find this funny then you should have a doctor check you for comedic anemia. Here’s “Barats and Bereta” (creators of the famous “Mother’s Day Card“) with the comedy duo’s latest contribution to viral video. I give you “Winward Reports: Cubicle War 2006.” If these two can’t make money through viral video, we’re…
Oh hush. What it lacks in humor it makes up for in timeliness. Let’s see you put an iPhone4G in your butt for the Internet. Or drive into the backyard of some crazy person so you can get near a cell phone tower. My favorite quote of Steve Jobs: .55 percent of iPhone4G users complained….
On July 24 individuals from across the globe will be videotaping moments from their day, and submitting for potential inclusion in a film produced by Ridley Scott (see his explanation video). “Life in a Day” may be the first crowd-sourced film, and will be directed by Kevin Macdonald (see the film’s YouTube channel, “LifeInADay” for…
What are the best free online-resources to help you create a film look with a digital camera (even a $500 HD-SLR camera will do the trick). While writing my last post about how to create film-like effects using an HDSLR camera within a budget, I realized there’s loads of great articles, blogs, video tutorials, discussion boards and…
Woah. This Wall Street Journal (a print newspaper based in New York City) is coming dangerously close to my “beat” today. They’re clearly running online video stories to see if they can steal from the rapidly growing readership of “Will Video for Food.” I may not be as classy, accurate, easy-to-read or comprehensive. But I’m…
Dr. Hawkins predicts the world will end tomorrow (Sept. 12, 2006). If he’s right I just want to thank you good folks for reading the blog. I was going to ask someone to back it up, but I think if the world ends it doesn’t really matter. Oh- who wins the YouTube “bubble burst” contest…

Hitviews? Does that mean I get to hit you everytime I watch one of your videos? Oh please, PLEASE say yes! =)
Whoa! That was quick. Whatever happened to wallowing in self-recrimination during an extended period of unemployment? It’s like you don’t even care about tradition!
BTW, I just posted my “7 Ways To Ensure Your Video Doesn’t Work” for marketers on the EyeView blog. You might want to use it as a kind of bible at your new gig!
Enjoy.
Chief Strategic Officer? I dunno, Nalts. When I hear CSO I think “Chicago Symphony Orchestera.”
Negotiate for a better acronym.
j/k, congratulations, it’s nice to have a home and a title.
Nalts for president!
Congratulations!
How long is this prank going to last?
So now you’re putting up with the annoying office girl on a daily basis? Good luck with that 😛
This is a much better job, because it looks to me like that Propecia stuff doesn’t work.
Congratulations, Kevin. It seems unfair, however, that you were unemployed for only a week, especially in this economy.
@6 it’s beyond the prank stage now – this is a swan off the high dive. Get your score cards ready, hold your breath and keep your eyes pealed.
Impressive title.
But what does it all really MEAN, Kevin?
I think your first strategic action…should be to make you the face of Hitviews. As I think yours may sell it better.
But that’s just my opinion…goofy 40 year olds are the new 20 something year old blonde chick.
Oh Nalts! That’s great news! Look at all of the things you are doing! I still remember the days when you were just a mere 39 years old, and now look at all of these accomplishments!
I myself was just elected the official Colonel of Cool yesterday, but you totally have me beat with this one.
@10 Soon I’ll announce that I in fact have no MBA, never had a job outside Dominos, and that the kids are my niece and nephews. And I’m actually 48 years old.
Wow, that’s awesome! Congratulations! Get me work! 😀
😛
@13 oh, that irony would be the cherry on my virtual hot fudge sundae and while facing the cold harsh reality that life online has been some great, wild and fantastical hallucination, then, and only then would I slip under the cover of dark into sukatras abode pilfer all her drugs and immediately ask marquis’ sister out on a date surrendering my will completely to the consistent yet well intentioned fascist wordsmith and the sweet sweet melodious toots from yonder nutcheese. the universe then dear kevin, would cease to exist
Where do I send my resume? Will you ignore the gap in employment while I was learning self paced basket weaving courtesy of the state?

Kevin is no longer the ‘Viral Video Genius’ he has now graduated to ‘The Internets Genius’
Since you’re strategical with Hitviews now, you might be interested in my blog.
