Case Study — Chicago Building Congress

Backstage: The Fields Studios Tour & Screening

A behind-the-scenes evening inside one of Chicago's newest soundstages — part membership drive, part rare industry access, hosted by the CBC Membership Committee.

The brief

The Fields Studios is a brand-new, world-class soundstage complex not normally open to the public — and a 2025 CBC Merit Award winner in its own right. The Membership Committee used that rare access as the hook for a night built to convert prospects, offering a 20% new-member discount alongside the tour itself.

I designed the campaign that got people in the door — event graphic, animated social promo, email banner, and signage — then produced the recap video that carried the night's energy onto CBC's channels afterward.

This venue also won a 2025 CBC Merit Award for Commercial Construction Over $50M — see that case study here.

What I produced

A campaign built to convert — the animated promo graphic in particular was designed to stand out in a crowded feed and drive RSVPs for a capped-capacity night.
