Nobody has time to film
Your team is running machines and shipping orders. Social media keeps sliding to the bottom of the list.
Local marketing for Chicagoland industry
Video and social content that puts Chicagoland manufacturers on the map.
We come to your facility and create content that showcases your people, process, products and plant, then put it to work on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to build awareness of your brand.
For manufacturers, fabricators, equipment makers and dealers, building-materials companies and other industrial businesses across Chicagoland.
The challenge
Your shop floor is your best content.
Quiet online
Buyers and job seekers look you up before they call. A quiet social presence makes a busy, capable business look small.
Outsiders don't get your world
Generic marketers don't know a press brake from a pallet jack. You need someone who understands your operation and shows it the right way.
Services
What we do

Drone footage
Aerial shots of your facility, yard, jobsites and projects. Great for social posts, your website, recruiting and trade-show screens.
Social media management
We plan, create and post content that builds your brand on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, the channels where your buyers, partners and future hires spend time.

FAQ
Common questions
Who do you work with?
Manufacturers and industrial businesses: fabricators, equipment makers and dealers, building-materials companies and more.
Where do you travel?
Across Chicagoland, including the city, the suburbs, Northwest Indiana and southern Wisconsin. Further out? Ask us.
What kind of video do you make?
Video for social media that showcases your people, process, products and facility, for YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. That can mean quick clips or longer YouTube videos. It isn't big-budget commercial production: it's authentic content, made steadily, that builds brand awareness.
How long are the videos?
Whatever fits the platform and the story, from quick Instagram and Facebook clips to longer YouTube videos. We'll recommend a mix on the intro call.
Are you a licensed drone pilot?
Ask us about drone details and insurance for your site. Some locations, such as those near airports, have airspace rules we'll check before the shoot.
What do you need from us on shoot day?
A contact person to walk us around, any safety requirements and PPE rules, and a heads-up on what's running that day. Let us know if anything is off-limits to film.
Do we have to use every service?
No. Some companies just want video. Others want their YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok managed or help with leads. We pick what makes sense for you.
What happens after the pilot?
We look at how it went together. If it's useful, we can talk about regular shoot days and ongoing posting. If not, no hard feelings.
