Have You Seen This Yet? Tom Selleck Predicts the Future
This video of 8-year-old AT&T commercials has been around a while – even on YouTube – but surprisingly there aren’t THAT many views on it. Somehow I missed Mashable‘s post on it the other week, but maybe you did too. So what’s the deal with these AT&T commercials you ask? They’re from an old campaign [...]
NASA Gets Called Out For Being Social Squares
Here’s another YouTube voice rising up. User damewse is so fed up with NASA’s failed attempts to connect with the American public that he’s putting out his own material using repurposed footage and the hypnotic combination of minimalist piano and Carl Sagan. It’s actually pretty humbling and encouraging stuff – although keep in mind it’s [...]
Looking at Branded Content in 2011
I was reading this list of predictions for digital advertising in 2011 and one point in particular really stuck out to me: 5. Brands Will Become More Like Media Companies Social media has empowered brands to break their own news instead of relying on advertising or PR to disseminate their message. As brands become increasingly [...]
Weekly Ad-vice: NogPong
Nowadays, putting together a dynamic and tech-savvy social meda campaign is one of the most effective ways to boost brand interest, and accomodate fun. Take some ad-vice, courtesy of advertising powerhouse Saatchi & Saatchi LA: Everybody who’s been to college (or even high school) has had at least one experience with the plastic Dixie cups [...]
Edge of Progress Tour Hits Austin
Urgent’s team has been working with GOOD magazine + Ford to produce a series that follows a journalist across the country to interview some of today’s most influential innovators, stopping in NY, Austin, SF, LA, and Detroit. The latest installment in the Edge of Progress tour takes place in Austin, a city that is big [...]
OK Go To Write Their Name Over Los Angeles
Range Rover recently teamed up with viral kings OK Go to help promote the auto company’s new Pulse of the City app that tracks your journey via GPS. On Wednesday, the band is going to perform an 8-mile mobile concert in Los Angeles and the route will spell out the band’s name across the city. [...]

Urgent Content teamed up with Good Magazine and Ford to produce the Edge of Progress Innovator Sessions. Here’s the first video of the series profiling two innovators in New York City: food blogger/writer/rooftop gardener, Cathy Erway, and metal worker/artist, Josh Hadar. Check out the vid and see what they had to say…
Friday Music Video Round Up (10/29/2010)
Friday is supposed to be the fun day at work, so why not spend some of your day watching cool new music videos? James Blake – “Limit To Your Love” Directed by Martin de Thurah. Kanye West – “Runaway” The Books – “I Didn’t Know That” Directed by Nick Zammuto Kisses – “Kisses” Directed by Julia [...]
Movin’ Like Bernie (via @videogum)
I just watched what could potentially be the next ridiculous dance move to go viral. “The Berney” (hopefully spelled wrong intentionally) owes its inspiration to the Weekend At Bernie’s film series. I suppose they could also call it “The Zombie,” but that’s way less cool. I like that this new dance move hit the blogs [...]
Puff Puff Pass It On
Friend of Urgent Content, Max Joseph, sent us these hilarious Prop 19 videos he worked on for The B-Squad. With voting day around the corner, Californians are all anxious to see what happens with this historic proposition…so why not make light of it? The first video is my favorite, but all three are definitely worth [...]
YouTube Takes Over The Guggenheim
I missed out on the YouTube Play live webcast last night (Giants game), but I’ve been going over some of the clips today and it looks like the event was pretty amazing. We’ve already started acknowledging the talents of creators on YouTube, but getting the Guggenheim involved kicks it up a major notch. I’d happily [...]
Watching Kids Watching Viral Videos
YouTubers, The Fine Brothers, are attempting an interesting new video series called “Kids React,” where they film kids watching well-known viral videos and then record their feedback. It’s attempting the ultimate combination of cute kids and viral hits. For the first episode, the kids watched “Double Rainbow,” “Two Bunnies Two Cups,” “Snickers Halloween Commercial,” and [...]
Wild 3D Projection for Toyota Auris
The other week Toyota UK posted this video of a 3D projection that creative agency Glue Isobar created for their new hybrid vehicle, the Toyota Auris. It’s pretty unbelievable to see this work on video, but I can only imagine the people who saw this in really life were completely blown away. Imagine if urban [...]
FAIL: Band Blocks 101 Freeway For Publicity Stunt
Some people believe any publicity is good publicity, but something tells me that won’t work for the band Imperial Stars. These morons took their publicity stunt a little too far when they…well…BLOCKED THE 101 FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES! Now, all three of the band members are in jail and they probably have more enemies today [...]
Stuck in Transit – Filming LA’s Live Music Scene
Stuck In Transit is a brand new video blog started by some friends of Urgent Content living in Los Angeles. The idea is to capture performances of emerging indie artists performing in LA and then have a very casual and fun interview with them after the show. So far they’ve featured some really cool videos [...]
Valvoline Goes Viral
Urgent’s friend Simon over at Bloggasm saw our recent post on Weezer’s YouTube invasion and gave us the heads up today on another YouTube invasion – this time from Valvoline. The company teamed up with Key of Awesome and Upright Citizens Brigade for some branded videos centered around one thing – the word “probably.” Valvoline [...]
Friday Music Video Round Up
Here are some of the best music videos from this week! Deerhunter – Helicopter El Guincho – Bombay (Major NSFW) Tame Impala – Lucidity Local Natives – Wide Eyes
Google’s Epic New Promotional Video
The other day Google put out this bizarre video to hype their location-based mobile search engine, but at 10 minutes long, it’s hard to believe most people would sit through the whole thing. I…almost did. But it’s worth checking out for the hidden humor throughout the whole video. My favorites from when I skipped to [...]
