BRAND AWARENESS

SKYDIVE CHICAGO

OVERVIEW

Skydive Chicago wanted more than a standard commercial — they wanted a film that told their story. We leaned into storytelling and authenticity. We framed the video around the company’s history, weaving in the personal story of the owner and the generational passion that defines Skydive Chicago. This human-centered approach ensured that the brand’s credibility and expertise came through naturally, building trust with first-time jumpers and seasoned skydivers alike.

The film positioned Skydive Chicago not just as a skydiving service, but as a community and legacy brand. By blending heartfelt storytelling with cinematic visuals, the piece built credibility, humanized the company, and left potential customers inspired to trust Skydive Chicago with the experience of a lifetime.

  • Full-length “About Us” film for website and YouTube

  • 3 additional documentary films following new and advanced students

  • Cutdowns for social highlighting family legacy, company culture, and the thrill of the jump
