Chicago Cubs


Campaign Development, Visual Identity

[THIS] is Everything


Each season, the Chicago Cubs launch a campaign designed to drive ticket sales across the city, digital channels, and in-stadium media. The objective is simple but demanding: put people in the seats at Wrigley Field.

The campaign centers on a truth unique to Cubs baseball: fans return not just for the game, but for the shared moments that surround it. Walking through the tunnel. The first glimpse of the field. The wind, the ivy, strangers becoming friends.

[THIS] becomes a flexible declaration that allows fans to complete the sentence with their own memories, transforming ticket promotion into an invitation to belong. By shifting focus from the game to the experience around it, the platform invites both lifelong fans and newcomers to be part of something uniquely Chicago.

Energy Made Physical


Handcrafted paint gestures transform photography into manifestations of feeling, giving physical form to the electricity of Wrigley Field. Combined with cinematic imagery, custom typography, and a distinctive color system, the visuals balance authenticity with myth, creating a flexible language that feels tactile, atmospheric, and unmistakably Cubs.
