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

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.
