Explore Media is thrilled to officially announce that we have been recognized as one of the top commercial production companies in Chicago and nationally by UpCity!

Our team lives by a core belief: every project deserves our very best. Whether working with an agency or collaborating directly with brands, we produce video content and commercials that connect with viewers in emotional ways. Our collaborative approach to commercial production is only one reason why our Chicago area company has been recognized by UpCity as not only one of the best commercial production companies in the Midwest, but also nationally in the United States.

This recognition has been driven in large part by our perfect 5.0 review rating on UpCity and our 5.0 rating on Google. Here is one of our favorite pieces of feedback we’ve received from our amazing customers:

“We have tapped Explore Media several times for commercial creation, but one of our favorite collaborations was an incredible bonus. The Explore Media team was working with one of our influencer families, telling the story of how their RV enhances their family life and adventure. The piece, shot in gorgeous Acadia National Park, was so inspiring, we had the team turn it into a broadcast television spot. Explore is a go to for our storytelling. Their work is always a great value because their quality is evident and they listen to the goals and dreams of the client. As a brand, we frequently work with families and children. We have heard from so many of our clients that the Explore Media team goes out of the way to be friendly to everyone, but especially the youngest talent. Explore Media goes above and beyond to capture the true spirit and personalities of even the smallest kids. We will continue working with the Explore Media team because they have taken the time to really study and learn our messaging and brand. Each finished project exceeds our expectations both in storytelling and visuals. I would recommend them to any other brand looking to get broadcast quality, professional work, without taking a major hit to the budget.”

- Courtney Bias, Director of Marketing, Go RVing

“We have used Explore Media for producing various commercial spots for use on television, streaming, radio, and social media for the last couple of years. Their work is always a great value because their quality is exceptional, they're amazing to work with, they offer great advice & direction, and the finished product was fantastic. Explore Media is a go-to group for our marketing department, and I would highly recommend them to any brand looking for high-quality production levels with best-in-class service.”

- Michael Murphy, Marketing Manager, 1st Source Bank
