History summer social 2024

Every year the A+E Networks ad sales team hosts in-person summer social events with clients. In addition, a physical mailer is sent out to clients unable to attend the in-person event. Our focus was to tie the overall theme and event design into Hispanic Heritage Month. The mailer included a branded blanket, chips and salsa, and everything needed to make margaritas at home in addition to a set of trivia cards featuring custom History Channel program illustrations on the backs.

cbs Chicago DOCUMENTARIES

Chicago is a unique, diverse and complicated city filled with hundreds of thousands of stories. In order to tell just a few of those stories CBS Chicago started an original docuseries entitled ‘Stories 2 Tell’. From the heart of the Chicago Mob to the legacy of the Andy Frain ushers, this series covers a historical side of Chicago that might otherwise be lost. In addition to the ‘Stories 2 Tell’ documentary series, [Un|warranted is a standalone half-hour news documentary chronicling a series of investigations into police wrong raids.

INVESTIGATING THE HOLIDAYS PARODY

What did CBS Chicago want for Christmas last year? Answers. Where do the gumdrops on holiday gingerbread houses come from? Who shattered that favorite ornament? And just who is really eating all of those cookies left for Santa? Our investigators won’t stop until they find out in this 6-part series of fun and festive holiday spots. While taking on a tongue-and-cheek tone this parody campaign underlines CBS Chicago’s mission of always investigating.
