The adult film star, standup comic, writer, and social media phenom has been invited to participate in two panels: the first, “Building Your Marketing and PR Plan,” will feature adult entertainment experts discussing the importance of an effective marketing plan that looks past products and services to focus instead on your audience.
Kennedy’s second YNOT appearance will be on the “Reaching Your Customers Directly” panel, on which the self-described “podcast slut” will explain how one can leverage channels like social media, podcasts, email, blogs and more to reach customers..
“I’m thrilled to have been invited back to speak at the YNOT Summit 2021,” said Kennedy. “Passing on what I’ve learned throughout my career in adult to new performers and content creators is a huge passion of mine, and I think it’s so wonderful that YNOT provides such an excellent and accessible platform for adult industry professionals to network, learn, and grow!
“The two panels I’ll be speaking on this year concern building one’s brand, a topic I’m very passionate about! My life before porn also contributes to this passion; I graduated in 2016 from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Advertising, where I focused on digital brand strategy and social media marketing. The adult industry is like online marketing on steroids: a hyper competitive, saturated market that can sometimes feel impossible to carve a niche within. I’ve found that by applying what I learned in school, while being true to my vision and myself, has led to much success in my career, and I’m very excited to share what I’ve learned to hopefully help others on their own journeys!”

About Kate Kennedy
Los Angeles-based comedian, content creator, porn pundit, and self-described “podcast slut” Kate Kennedy entered the adult industry behind the scenes, working in marketing and production for a year before stepping in front of the camera in July 2018. With girl-next-door good looks, acting chops and a personality to charm the pants right off you, she quickly became an industry favorite, racking up credits for major adult studios, as well as multiple award nominations, including a 2019 ‘Best New Starlet’ nod from NightMoves.
Kennedy fulfilled a lifelong dream and began performing standup comedy in 2019 at major Los Angeles venues, including the world famous Comedy Store. Her blend of sex and humor has made her a hit with comedy and porn fans alike, and she can frequently be heard dishing the dirty details of her porn career on podcasts and radio, including Your Mom’s House with Tom Segura & Christina P., and Dr. Drew After Dark.
In June 2020, she was featured in a
HUSTLER Magazine story on adult stars who also perform in the comedy world, and the following month, Kennedy launched her own perverse podcast, “
The Kennedy Assassination,” in which she interviews men from the internet who really despise her.
Kennedy went on to host the “Cam Girl Chronicles”
podcast, which dives into the world of webcam and features ladies from ImLive sharing their stories, and is currently the co-host of
“Two Girls One Mic: The Porncast,” in which she and show creator Alice Vaughn discuss the holes and the plot holes of your favorite porn.
Kennedy and her
OnlyFans were the focus of a March 2020
New York Post story examining the silver lining some sex workers and their fans have found as people in self-isolation seek to escape the new reality of the coronavirus. In April, Kennedy discussed the ways in which online sex workers are innovating and adapting in the crowded, post-COVID-19 online pornosphere in a
HUSTLERMagazine.com feature, and in June she spoke with
Men’s Health about how OnlyFans has changed the face of the adult business.
Also in 2020, Kennedy was honored by the 10th Annual
Spank Bank Awards in three categories: ‘Most Likely To Become The Cirque de Soleil’s Performance Masturbator’; ‘Puppeteer of the Year (Best Hands/Fister)’; and ‘Fucking Nerd of the Year.’
