About the Work
The City of Chicago wanted to advertise its new master brand platform ‘Chicago. City of Stories”. However, instead of telling Chicago stories in Chicago, we’ve decided to show that our stories go way beyond our borders. Why? Because Chicago has influenced most of the major cities across the Globe and only a few people know about it. That’s true, Chicago is truly a trailblazing city of firsts. We were the first city to ever have a skyscraper, we're home to house and electric blues music, we invented the first Ferris Wheel, American Cinema Industry, and even the first cellphone was created here. So, to tell all these stories, we’ve made the first Chicago tour in NYC to highlight that the big apple is full of Chicago inventions and contributions. A Chicagoan comedian guided the tour through sixteen landmarks and explained to New Yorkers how many things surrounding them originated in the windy city, like the Flat Iron Building, the World Trade Center, the Coffee Maker, and much more. But NYC wasn't the only target. The campaign with posters, films, and social content depicted how Chicago has influenced capitals worldwide, like London, Paris, Tokyo, and so many others. In the end, Chicago has become the talk of the town. Of every town.
Our main film shows how Chicago has influenced NYC. However, Chicago has influenced all major cities across the globe. And to show that, all pieces of the campaign drove people to our website: ChicagoNotInChicago.com. There, besides taking a virtual tour in NYC, people could see how the city has been important to Berlin, Mexico City, São Paulo, and Tokyo cultures. Also, for the ones who wanted eventually visit Chicago, they could book their flights to the Windy City right on the website.
