Ask a Ninja Seals $300K Ad Deal
Ninja marketing continues to pay off. Comedy video podcast Ask a Ninja just signed a $300,000 ad deal with Federated Media.
Kent Nichols, Douglas Sarine, and the Ninja have announced that they’ve signed a major ad deal.
“We have signed with Federated Media to handle all of our advertising,” they note. “We’re really excited to be working with John Battelle and the crew over there. They’ve got a great track record and really seem to be author friendly. Most importantly we will still be able to advertise in a way that doesn’t interfere with our show.”
While they don’t mention numbers, others are reporting the deal to be worth $300k upfront, plus 60% of revenue.
Wonder how much money the Ninja will make from YouTube’s upcoming ad platform.

Douglas “Ask a Ninja” Sarine goes on his second rapid-fire Q&A session. Apparently, he was trained by a ninja master called Sir Badass Killington. I didn’t know ninja masters could be knights, too. Read more

Nevermind that Douglas “Ask a Ninja” Sarine is declaring December 5 Ninja Day, or that he’s having people plan Ninja Day activities with a wiki, or that he’s encouraging photo sharing with the unique tag “NinjaDay2006″. Just dig the sponsors for his DVD release: Yahoo, Microsoft, Revver, Meevee, DivX, and Laughing Squid. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock (or from a ninja) for the last year, “Ask a Ninja” is an award-winning series of online comedy videos parodying the image of ninjas in popular culture, independently produced by improv comedians Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine.
Social media and viral marketing are the ways of the online marketing ninja. I’ll be at Yahoo presscon December 5, but I’ll try to kill somebody for Ninja Day.
