Work With ChiVibe

Work with ChiVibe

Tell the story behind
your next Chicago opening.

Planning an opening, a relaunch or a new experience in Chicago? Let’s explore the story behind it and the content that could bring it to life.

An opening. A new chapter.

A story worth telling.

For Chicago restaurants, bars, hotels, venues and the PR teams introducing their next project.

A starting point for discussion

Content for your
opening or launch

Start with what makes the project distinctive: the concept, the people behind it and the experience you are introducing.

We’ll discuss the content, placements and usage that make sense for your brief, then prepare a proposal.

Story development

The concept, people and practical details behind your opening, developed from confirmed information.

Short-form video

Discuss a focused edit using footage and images cleared for the project.

Clear labels

Paid content on ChiVibe is clearly identified as Sponsored or Paid Partnership.

Selected placements

Channels and formats agreed for your project, with timing set out in the proposal.

Content reuse

Clear terms for using commissioned assets on your own channels.

How it works

From an idea to an agreed brief.

Tell us what’s happening.

Share the business, the occasion and what you want the project to communicate.

Shape the project.

Discuss the content, available material, placements and timing.

Confirm the brief.

Agree on deliverables, price, approvals and usage permissions before work begins.

Commercial inquiries

What are you
working on?

Tell us a little about your business and what you have in mind. A few sentences are enough to start.

A few useful details

Before we talk.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on the deliverables, production needs, placements and usage permissions. We’ll discuss the brief before preparing a proposal.

Can I use the finished content on my own channels?

Where reuse is included, the proposal identifies the assets, permitted channels and usage period.

Can I send news without commissioning a project?

Yes. Opening announcements, story tips and factual corrections can be submitted free of charge through our editorial form. Paid work does not purchase independent coverage.
