What would an end-of year blog post be if it did not include some sort of list? And so, we bring you a list that while relatively abridged (we only have 4 items to share with you), is great food for thought as we close out this year and start to think about what the new year will hold for the nonprofit world.
Our list is some of our favorite videos from 2010 (they were not necessarily all made in 2010, but ones that we stumbled upon last year) that most inspired and moved us, and also, embodied some of the best practices from nonprofit marketing and branding. So, in no particular order:
- If this video doesn't tear at your heartstrings in every right way, what would?

- Who says celebrities and human don't get the right message across? We first saw this in an New York Times article and the video made our stomachs hurt from laughing!
(Also view the video here)
- Our final favorite was listed in a Mashable article as the only nonprofit ad to make the Top 10 Most Innovative Viral Video Ads of 2010. This very creative PSA certainly got our attention!

And finally, while not in the "neat nonprofit" video category, this animated lecture was shared with us by one of our blog readers and is an interesting listen to a philosopher's thoughts on the cultural capitalism and giving. (Plus, it has great animation!)

So happy holidays to all our readers and a big THANK YOU from the Merkle blogging crew for all your great thoughts, comments, and ideas throughout the year.
