Christkindlmarket selected Chicago Star as its official market media sponsor for its 2022 markets that spanned three locations. Chicago Star produced and directed the market’s official video, executed their mug launch strategy and created custom stories, video, photo, and social media. The comprehensive campaign included print and digital media. In 2023, we returned as its official mug launch sponsor and captured professional photographs to release the first pictures of the new mugs before the opening of the markets. This included several sponsored articles featuring the photos and a campaign where we partnered with local influencers to pose with the mugs in our photoshoot.
Curative Talent, a healthcare staffing agency based in Texas, hired Chicago Star to oversee their LinkedIn social media strategy. We have worked with them to create a social media calendar, create professional graphics that align with their branding guidelines, and draft compelling captions to capture audience attention. In addition to graphics, our team produced several motion graphic video job posts for Curative to highlight on their LinkedIn page. Aside from social media, we’ve helped with layout and redesign of their team’s informational decks for clients.
