About Us

Making your films famous since 2006

Unruly Media is the world's leading exponent of viral video marketing. We specialize in seeding, spreading, disseminating, diffusing, distributing and otherwise promoting online video content. We work not only on classic viral video campaigns, but also help disseminate movie trailers, TV ads, game footage, web shows and other forms of branded entertainment within social media. Although we're experts in viral video, we can put our expertise to work seeding anything from advergames to iPhone apps.

Over 400 video and viral campaigns

Since we opened our doors in 2006, Unruly Media has worked on more than 400 campaigns for many of the world's biggest and brightest brands. We typically work for the brand's media agency or ad agency and have executed campaigns for MediaCom, MindShare, MEC, OMD, MGOMD, PHD, Carat, Vizeum, Initiative, Universal McCann, Zed, BLM Quantum, BBH, AMV BBDO, and JWT.

One billion views

Unruly Media has bought, earned, and audited almost a billion user-intended views. Campaigns such as T-Mobile's Dance and Evian's Roller Babies have clocked up literally tens of millions of views and continue to amass views, comments, and links months after the campaign has officially ended.

41 countries

Unruly Media is headquartered in the heart of viral-land, in Shoreditch, London, UK. We have 15 full-time staff, and a further 30 part-time staff spread around the globe, speaking 24 languages and able to execute campaigns in 41 countries.

Transparency, integrity, trust

Unruly Media takes the 'black' out of black art. We are completely open and transparent about where all campaigns are running. We personally vet and report every single commercial placement. We fully support all types of third party tracking free of charge. When we outreach to a blogger or participate in a community we will always be clear about who we are and who we represent and we will never ask anyone to say anything they do not believe. We are members of the IAB and WOMMA and we comply with FTC regulations, with the EU's Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, and with other local laws and regulations governing marketing practice.

The Viral Video Chart

Unruly Media owns and operates the Viral Video Chart. Obsessively frequented by media mavens looking for the next big thing and pored over by agency creatives hoping to see their work make the cut, the Viral Video Chart is the world's largest, most comprehensive database of viral videos. Data is syndicated to a wide range of mainstream media outlets, including The Guardian, TVGuide, Sky, and CurrentTV.

Working with start-ups and SMBs

If you're a start-up, music video director, small business, NGO, or fledgeling agency, don't let our bombast or bravado put you off! We're very happy to work on smaller campaigns and to help scrappy upstarts make their mark. This is the beauty of online video and viral marketing: compared to TV, it's cheaper to make great content and it can be massively cheaper to get that content watched by an audience of millions.
