We love telling genuine stories and we love The Doughnut Vault, so we made a short film documenting the sights and sounds of our neighbor’s new shop – just up the street from us on Franklin.
Summertime is a great time to “Search for the Coldest”. The Coldest MC-that is. When Coors Light launched a national competition for finding the “Coldest MC in America”, Chicago agency commonground enlisted Mode Project as it’s content partner for the multi-platform effort targeted at the next generation of MC’s. We created a :15 national television spot seen on the NBA playoffs, web content, iPad videos and live event projections. The interactive iPad videos played in custom-built “ice cold” kiosks which were deployed at four live events around the country.
How many people love their bank? The USAA customers we interviewed sure do! USAA is an insurance and financial services company which serves over 8 million members of the military and their families. Mode Project invited customers to share their banking experiences in a series of videos for USAA Bank’s website. We were able to capture the customers’ sparkle and sincere enthusiasm about USAA Bank, reinforcing USAA’s brand story with authenticity and credibility.
Mode Project couldn’t be more excited for the Chicago premiere of Mike Diedrich’s documentary “Ballhawks” . The film, narrated by Bill Murray, tells the story of a group of regulars who chase batting practice and home run baseballs on the streets outside Wrigley Field.
Screening Memorial Day Weekend (Fri, Sat & Sun) at the Gene Siskel Film Center, tickets are available at the box office or via Ticketmaster.
We’re honored to have been a key creative and production partner from the start and we wish “Ballhawks” best of luck on the festival circuit. A special “walk-off” congratulations to Mike Diedrich for his passion and persistence in completing this film.

The advertising and marketing campaign that helped propel Barack Obama into the White House has been honored with the two top prizes — the Titanium Grand Prix and the Integrated Grand Prix — from the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.
Chicago-based Mode Project was one of the main creative partners in the campaign, assisting its longtime client and the lead agency, AKPD Message and Media. Mode Project oversaw the design of the now famous Obama logo and produced more than 200 broadcast commercials and additional digital content during the course of the primary and general election.
Of the Cannes win for Obama for America, Mode Project’s Colin Carter says, “We were honored to be a part of the Obama for America campaign and congratulate everyone on the Obama Media Team in this historic, game-changing endeavor. The Cannes honor is the highest in advertising and knowing we contributed to the successes of the campaign gives us a sense of accomplishment, second only to the election’s outcome.”
