Second City; the original interactive company

Unless you have been under a rock, you have been impacted by The Second City.  Tina Fey, John Belushi, Dan Akroyd and list just goes on and on.

This video is from The 2008 Chicago Convergence and features Tom Yorton, President of Second City Inc. 

The Second City is the original interactive company: creating memorable characters and biting sociopolitical satire based on audience input for nearly fifty years. Second City Communications, the corporate services arm of the legendary theater, has leveraged SC's core comedic beliefs, philosophies and methodologies to create insightful, hilarious and effective video, animation and web design for its many corporate clients - porting the laughs from the stage to the web page.

Second City Communications is the marketing services division of the famous comedy theater, The Second City — a company thats been interactive before interactive was hot. They help hundreds of Fortune 500 clients win audiences and marketshare — as well as improve individual & team performance — through the basic teachings of improv and a talented stable of writers, directors, producers, and production staff.
