@BofA_Help the worst job in social media
My experience with Bank of America this morning not withstanding (I got $140 in overdraft fees reversed, in less than 5 minutes!), B of A has a well deserved reputation as having literally the worst customer service in the world. Not just in the banking industry. The world.
Let’s break it down. The website is a [...]
5 Video Contests You NEED to Be Entering
Whether you’re full-timing or freelancing, contests are a great way to keep your creative juices flowing.
They give you deadlines, they give you more work to add on your reel, and sometimes, they even pay off.
We keep our eyes on contests, occasionally enter ourselves, and put in work on some, as well. [...]
contests defined
Today, digitalbeat had a pretty interesting article on Spigit, a white label service provider which allows companies to run social-contests on their sites. There’s lots of competition out there, but what I found interesting about the article was the fact that they broke down the different kinds of contests that are out there, which I [...]

VOTD: nailing every tech entrepreneur cliché
“You should follow me cuz I’m friends with Ashton” raps the New Dork, waving a copy of Fast Company with Ashton Kutcher on the cover (the same issue that floated around our old office for months). This viral Empire State of Mind parody nails pretty much every San Francisco tech entrepreneur cliché– it’s like bingo [...]

So, for those of you casual Urgensia readers, Urgent Content has been sourcing content for Flip Video’s fall campaign from a wide variety of creators. We’ve gone out to Flip’s user base to see what kinds of clips they have, and I wanted to share one of the better ones we’ve received. It’s a [...]
Remix this trailer!
Kasia pointed out an awesome looking panel at sxsw interactive called “Nobody wants to watch your film”. Which is true. Nobody want’s to watch your film.
And if you’re going to get anyone to watch it, you have to have some good online ideas to build buzz. Well, The Cosmonaut , an internationally crowdfunded, creative-commons-licensed film [...]
Video of the Day: Trailer for ABSOLUT Jay-z Doc
PSFK had a post on a dope sounding premier of this new ABSOLUT branded doc on Jay-Z before a concert, which apparently had the audiences attention on lockdown. They make the really intelligent point that the audiences would have been furious to see commercials before the show, but to watch this branded series was seen [...]
Shanzai Studios Crowdsources Product Designs
We’re fans of crowdsourcing, though we’re not always fans of the way the term is misused. To us, crowdsourcing strictly refers to tapping a wide collective to collaboratively solve a problem or work on a project. It’s not holding design contests for a company’s logo (ahem, Victors and Spoils) or developing an un-moderated forum with [...]
