Nate_Herk is a creator with a presence on YouTube (1,050,000 followers). Their content sits in the ai & technology space. Their YouTube bio reads: "I’m Nate Herk, an AI educator featured in Forbes and Inc., and the Amazon bestselling author of Becoming AI Native. I left Goldman Sachs to build an AI consultancy, scaled it to $100K/month, and exited in December 2025. I also founded AI A". The full audience and engagement breakdown is below.
Nate_Herk reaches its audience primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations. As a tech creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Hostinger and ClickUp. Engagement on YouTube runs around 3.0%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. Their YouTube-first format lends itself to integrations that sit inside the creator's usual content rather than running as standalone ads. Because the audience follows tech content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For brands in tech and related categories, Nate_Herk offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.
