Connecting With New Audiences

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is renowned worldwide for its rich musical tradition. But the CSO is also a colorful piece of Chicago's own cultural fabric.  We teamed up with CSO on a digital content campaign designed to communicate both the excitement and the accessibility of the symphony to new audiences via Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and CSO’s website.

In creating this series of videos, the Mode Project team synched perfectly with our marketing team­­—and the musicians—to tell our stories with just the right tone.
— Laura Emerick, CSO Digital Content Editor

CSO | After All This


Five musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra reflect on the current hiatus from performing live at Symphony Center in After All This, our latest video content collaboration with the CSO. In order to avoid a physical location shoot, we constructed this piece from images curated from CSO’s library. Audio was captured via Zoom.

Extending CSO’s Brand

Taking a thoughtfully integrated approach, Mode Project’s creative team is working with the CSO’s marketing strategists to ensure that the content reflects and extends the look and feel of the CSO brand. Notably, the CSO logo is given a fresh take with animated flourishes of color and dynamic motion to further catch the eye.
