Viral video is dead. Long live low production values. The cheaper the better. Don't cuddle your brand to death on YouTube. Those are the sage words of Kevin Nalty, who is an online video strategist, a career marketer, and a YouTube star with more than 100 million views of his videos. In this episode of the New Media Minute, shot on location at the recent iMedia Summit in Las Vegas, he shared his tips for brands that want to play in the YouTube sandbox with New Media Minute host Daisy Whitney.

In the new year, look for immersive brand experiences, new forms of interactivity, concept before craft and a shift away from sketch comedy.
