Promotional & Brand Video Production in Chicago
Promos and brand films that show the vibe, the people and the reason to pick you. Made for your homepage, your socials and your next big announcement.
People buy from brands they feel like they know.
Your logo and your price list don't tell anyone why you exist. A brand video does. It shows the people, the place and the thing you care about that the competition doesn't.
I don't do generic. We find what's actually true about your company and put that on screen. We show why customers want to work with you.
What I make
Six kinds of brand and promo video I make most often. One shoot can feed several.
Two to three minutes on who you are. The video that sits on your About page and does the explaining for you.
Brand films
Grand openings, launches and company events. Recap videos that make the people who missed it wish they hadn't.
Events & grand openings
Short loops and hero videos that set the mood the second someone visits. Built to look good muted, because most people watch that way.
Website & homepage video
A month of short vertical clips from one shoot day. Consistent look, real people, ready for Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.
Social content packages
New location, new menu, new product line, big anniversary. Short, punchy promos that get the word out fast.
Promos & announcements
The food, the room, the crowd on a Friday night. Restaurants and venues use these on their site and watch reservations go up.

How it works
From first start to finish, most brand videos take three to five weeks.
What makes you different, who you want to reach and where the video will live. This is the most important part.
1
We talk
Story, interview questions, locations, shot list and a clear quote. You approve it before we start.
2
I plan it
On location with your real people. Small crew, so it feels like a conversation, not a production.
3
We shoot
Edited, color-graded and music-licensed, with a full-length version plus short cuts for social and your website.
4
You get it

Common questions
What's the difference between a brand video and a commercial?
1
A commercial sells a specific thing, fast. A brand video shows who you are, so people trust you before they ever need to buy. Most companies need both.
Usually not. Your own people and customers are more believable than anyone I could cast. I'll get them comfortable on camera.
2
Do we need actors?
Where should we use a brand video?
3
Your homepage, About page, LinkedIn, sales emails, trade-show booth and recruiting. Good brand videos stay useful for years.
Can we get social clips from the same shoot?
4
Yes. I plan for it up front, so one day of filming gives you the main video plus a stack of vertical and square clips.
