OUR WORK
A series of public art activations by community-based organizations across the city addressing infrastructure inequity in Chicago, showcasing the ways in which the arts, alongside the beautification of and investment in infrastructure, drives economic growth.
O'Shanahan Productions builds and runs the full digital business for high-profile talent. For Phil Rosenthal (host of Netflix's Somebody Feed Phil), the work covers social strategy across six platforms, podcast publishing, partnerships, tour promo, and a new merchandise operation. Since taking over, aggregate audience has grown 19% to 1.47M, monthly growth has accelerated 4.6x, merchandise revenue has lifted 386%, and a new direct revenue stream is generating consistent monthly income.
We partnered with Vic Mensa, Chicago-native rapper and artist to create a mini-episodic series on Instagram that takes viewers on a ride along the Green Line to visit each partner on the Next Stop: Chicago campaign.
Thriving is an unscripted series where Kaley Shannon, a candid and spirited twenty-something, dives into the lives of successful, balanced creatives across challenging industries. Through humor, vulnerability, and genuine curiosity, Kaley explores what it means to truly thrive—uncovering relatable insights, mental health strategies, and practical life hacks for young audiences looking to navigate their own paths with confidence and joy.
For Manzke Hospitality Group, the work covered integrated campaign strategy, video and photo production with talent including Martha Stewart, Phil Rosenthal, and Michelle Khare, national press placement, and crisis communications during high-visibility events.
