Ad Council

Ad Council, also known as The Advertising Council and founded in 1942 as The Advertising Council, Inc., is an American nonprofit organization which produces and distributes public service announcements (PSAs) to television or radio broadcasters, or to print outlets, on behalf of various sponsors, including nonprofit organizations, non-governmental organizations and agencies of the United States government.
The Ad Council also has a YouTube channel, which was created in 2006. On the channel, the Ad Council uploads nothing more than their PSAs that are created for both television and the web. For more modern PSAs, they could upload different versions of a particular PSA, such as one that is 60 seconds in length, 30 seconds, 15 seconds, or perhaps in Spanish. As likely required, each video is closed captioned. These PSAs are often apart of one campaign, such as their most recent Coronavirus Response campaign tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Wildlife Prevention campaign that features their "mascot", Smokey Bear, plus more. One PSA from the "Love Has No Labels" campaign tackling diversity and inclusion, is their most viewed video on the channel. Often, Ad Council PSAs feature licensed characters or scenes from a recent film or video game, too. 
In late 2018-early 2019 when the Ad Council's decades-old signage got a rebrand (to the logo you see now), many of old videos they had uploaded in the channel's early years were privated/removed. They used to also be in playlists that were on the channel, but those playlists were also deleted (and they did prove that the videos were indeed made private). Among these old videos, were older PSAs made around the mid-late 2000s, plus PSAs from the early 2010s, back when the campaigns containing them were still new and running. In fact, they uploaded a couple of even older PSAs dating around the 1960s-1970s, namely, an animated PSA titled "The Forest Has Many Things", plus a PSA featuring the "Crash Dummies" characters.
Despite a video featuring a tutorial on how to properly strap a booster seat showing up as the first video they have uploaded back in 2009, it is consequently not the first video. The Ad Council had begun uploading videos beginning in 2007. It is currently unknown what their true first video was. One particular PSA (which had been on TV for two years by then) that they had uploaded in 2007, featured a goldfish flipping around on a white surface, gasping for air. The PSA was tackling asthma attacks, and it had a young voice over. There were many hate comments on the video, and while it was last seen in 2015, the PSA was later removed some time later.
Despite the video removals on the channel, the PSAs that they have previously uploaded can be easily found elsewhere on YouTube, including the previously mentioned fish asthma PSA.
