Hippo Media

Hippo Media was hired by Dober, a specialty chemical company, to produce two videos. The first video aimed to showcase Dober's culture to prospective customers and job candidates, while the second video highlighted how Dober differs from its competition. Hippo Media began the project by conducting a walkthrough of Dober's facility and meeting with several team members. After this initial step, the company outlined its vision for the videos and the shots they wanted. The videos were then filmed and edited, with Hippo Media conducting two rounds of edits before the videos were published. The team at Hippo Media was praised for their responsiveness and pleasant work ethic.

As an equipment vendor, Hippo Media has worked with Dynamite Film Productions on several projects. The company typically begins each project by understanding the needs of Dynamite Film Productions and recommending the most suitable equipment. Once the equipment list and budget are agreed upon, Hippo Media provides the necessary tools. The company has spent around $500,000 on Hippo Media's services and equipment since their partnership began in 2015. Dynamite Film Productions appreciates the local presence of Hippo Media in Chicago and the ease of working with their team.

Cates Collaborative, a creative agency specializing in advertising and content creation, hired Hippo Media for production management on a range of projects. The goal was to transform Cates Collaborative's creative visions into final products, delivering a series of high-quality videos within budget. Hippo Media was selected from four local production companies due to their ability to meet budget parameters and execute the project plan. The collaboration involved developing scripts, hiring talent, organizing locations, scheduling, budgeting, and equipment management. The communication between the two teams was praised as being real-time and daily, with Cates Collaborative in touch with several key members of Hippo Media's team.
