About p3 mediaworks

p3 mediaworks is an independent creative video agency based in Chicago, founded in 2003. Its work centers on culture storytelling, employer branding, and corporate communications, helping organizations explain their purpose through the experiences of employees, customers, patients, and communities. The company began as a boutique, one-camera production business and developed into a full-service commercial production partner.

The agency works with mid-market and enterprise employers, nonprofit institutions, and purpose-driven businesses. Its storytelling approach explores the attitudes, beliefs, and human experiences that shape an organization’s culture. Projects support recruitment, employee engagement, customer advocacy, product marketing, fundraising, and public communication. Employer brand films, recruitment videos, brand anthems, and nonprofit mission stories form a substantial part of its output.

From strategy to delivery

p3 mediaworks takes projects through strategic discovery, creative development, filming, and post-production. Early work includes brand positioning analysis, audience identification, discovery sessions, and creative scoping. The team develops concepts, scripts, storyboards, and message structures, with voiceover casting where needed.

Production capabilities include on-location filming, commercial cinematography, lighting, talent direction, drone footage, and multi-camera live production. Post-production combines editing with 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics, color grading, sound design, audio mixing, and digital mastering. Delivery work includes platform-specific formats and shorter versions for social channels, alongside video prepared for websites.

Stories for different audiences

The studio’s projects range from B2B and consumer advertising to customer testimonials, patient journeys, executive culture films, and social impact narratives. It also creates event openers, recap films, screen graphics, and general-session content for company gatherings.

Its markets include healthcare, enterprise software, logistics, commercial real estate, retail, hospitality, and philanthropy. Across these settings, the agency combines strategic message development with live-action production and animation, adapting the format to the audience and the communication goal. Its Chicago team also uses remote workflows to serve national and international engagements.
