Extra Medium in Chicago.
Presence in Chicago for businesses across Illinois and the Midwest: brand strategy, growth marketing, fractional CMO leadership, websites, ecommerce, paid media, SEO and applied AI, from a studio headquartered in Virginia Beach with a location in London.

What Chicago businesses get from Extra Medium.
Extra Medium maintains a presence in Chicago, Illinois, alongside its Virginia Beach headquarters and London location. Chicago-area engagements are led by the same senior team and run the same way: strategy first, then creative, growth and technology, with in-person time for workshops, launches and experiences.
We are honest about what this is: a location, not a large local office. What Chicago businesses get is direct access to the studio’s principal and the same practice that serves consumer brands, manufacturers and retailers nationally.
Brand, growth and intelligence for Midwest businesses.
Chicago companies come to us for the same reasons anyone does: a launch that has to land, a brand that no longer fits, growth that has stalled, or an AI initiative that needs to connect to how the business actually runs. We bring brand strategy, growth marketing, fractional CMO leadership, website design, ecommerce growth, paid media, SEO and AI search and AI consulting to Chicago and the region.
How Chicago engagements work.
Most of the work runs remotely with the studio’s full team. In-person time in Chicago is scheduled for the moments that need it: strategy workshops, leadership sessions, launches, content production and events. Chicago clients also benefit from the studio’s transatlantic footprint when growth points toward the UK.
