Video & Content Production in Chicago, IL is built for a city where the cameras are always on. Global brands run their marketing from here: McDonald's, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez International, and Conagra Brands lead the food world; United Airlines flies from it; GE HealthCare builds medical technology here. Every one of them needs video that performs, from brand films to executive interviews to social content.
Chicago is also a trade show city. McCormick Place hosts some of the largest shows in the world, and a same-day sizzle reel from the show floor can carry your message far beyond the attendees in the room.
We are a full video and content production team producing nationally. Concept, scripting, directing, shooting, editing, and delivery. Commercials and brand films. Corporate video and explainers. Customer testimonials and executive interviews. Event coverage with same-day edits. Photography, social content, and podcast production.
Because we also produce live events, our video team thinks like producers. We plan for the edit before we roll, we staff for the schedule you actually have, and we deliver cuts built for where they will live: the keynote screen, the website, the feed.

Chicago is a corporate interview town. Much of our work here is executives and subject-matter experts on camera, filmed in offices across the Loop, River North, and Fulton Market with mobile interview kits that make any conference room look intentional.
For event coverage, we are built for McCormick Place: the four buildings, the show floors of the National Restaurant Association Show and RSNA, the press conferences of the Chicago Auto Show. We know how to move crews through a campus that connects four buildings with enclosed walkways.
And when the story needs the city itself, we handle the logistics of shooting around Chicago properly, including Chicago Film Office permits for public locations like the Riverwalk, so your B-roll never becomes a legal problem. Cinespace Chicago Film Studios, home to productions like Chicago Fire and Chicago PD, keeps this city in front of cameras year round.
Where we shoot: McCormick Place; corporate offices across the Loop, River North, and Fulton Market; Chicago Riverwalk (permitted); the river and skyline for B-roll; Cinespace Chicago Film Studios.
One team from lens to final file. The people who shoot your story edit your story, which means nothing gets lost between production and post.
Simple is headquartered in Washington, DC, with crews traveling to 25 cities nationwide. Our world-class producers fly in, so you get our standards, our accountability, and people who know your shoot. We hire local crews and stagehands, so you get people who know the locations, and local labor is covered without shipping gear cross-country. Travel is part of how we quote, never a surprise line item.
We turn fast when the moment demands it: same-day sizzle reels during trade shows and conferences, rapid-response edits when news breaks in your sector. And because the video team sits alongside our event and marketing teams, your footage can become a campaign, not just a file on a drive.
We deliver what we say we will. We treat your budget, timeline, brand, and reputation with care.
Yes. Our mobile interview kits travel to offices across the Loop, the suburbs, and the metro. We bring lighting, audio, and backdrops that make any space camera-ready, usually in under an hour of setup.
Yes. Same-day sizzle reels and social cuts from the McCormick Place show floor are a core service. We staff editors on site so selects are being cut while the show is still running.
We manage Chicago Film Office permits for public locations, including the Riverwalk, plus location agreements elsewhere in the city. Tell us where you want to shoot and we will handle the paperwork.
Two to four weeks from shoot to final delivery for most projects. Rush timelines are available when a launch or event date demands it.
Yes, full podcast production: recording, editing, mixing, and the audiograms and social assets that help episodes travel.
That is how we prefer to work. When one team produces your event and captures it, the coverage is better because the crew already knows the run of show.
We needed a Netflix-level crew to film our comedy special, and Simple delivered beyond expectation.
Conferences, summits, galas, and corporate events. Full-service production from planning to show day.
