CLIENT REVIEWS
HEAR IT FROM THEM.
We spend our days getting people to say what they really think on camera. Here’s what the people we work with really think about us. Every one is linked to where they said it.
It's a small team and you have access to senior creatives with many years of experience. They prove that even dry corporate topics can be engaging when given the right treatment.
Grand Union was very communicative and efficient on a very tight timeline. They delivered full project management support, helping our stakeholders understand what was possible within the timeframe and budget provided, as well as holding their hand through the entire journey of video production. All deliverables were received on time. The most impressive feature of Grand Union is its agility.

They built an entire nursery set for us and were totally unfazed by a two-week-old baby crying, eating, bathing, changing diapers. They got it all, and the final product was outstanding.
Grand Union was terrific! We needed 7, 3-minute videos shot as part of a research study at Lurie Children's Hospital. The videos had to be welcoming and supportive of new fathers. Grand Union was fantastic from start to finish — talking through the project, brainstorming approaches, etc so that when we were ready to shoot it was super efficient. One day was spent on our campus shooting and one day in their studio. Highest level of professionalism, expertise, and can-do attitudes. In fact, the day we shot in their studio was with a new dad and his 2 week old baby — Grand Union built an entire nursery set for us and was totally unfazed with this little baby crying, eating, bathing, changing diapers — they got it all and the final product was outstanding. Two thumbs up, highly recommend them!

You won't find a nicer or harder-working crew in the business.
If you got an idea (big or small) for a client that you need to be brought to life, call Grand Union. If you need ideas for a client that you'll eventually want brought to life, call Grand Union. If you want to work, collaborate and partner with a production company that brings their A-game each and every day, yup, you got it — call Grand Union. You won't find a nicer or harder-working crew in the business. About the only thing I wouldn't call them for are some quality baked goods. But then again, if that's what you need, they could make it happen. So yeah…call Grand Union!

We couldn't have hired someone who delivered higher quality work, unless we were doing an IMAX film.
Our client was very happy with the project. They almost immediately started talking about wanting to do another case study. Their work was extremely polished and professional. Christian led the project and was always on top of it — patient, flexible, and super responsive to feedback. A lot of production companies try to convince clients that they need a huge crew to create a great product. Grand Union Creative's team was very talented, and every teammate wore a lot of hats. I consider them to be a very reliable partner, so I would absolutely work with them again.

It isn't just about getting the shots and putting the information together. It's about finding the compelling human interest angle that adds a deeper emotion to the video.

They present new ideas, build a creative and strategic deck to meet our goals, then execute production to that deck. They help us tell our story in a way that has more meaning.
Grand Union Creative has produced three videos for us, helping us think through the story we wanted to tell and building these branding videos to convey a clear sense of who we are. We've received a lot of positive feedback — the team members who appear in the videos are incredibly impressed with the outcome. Christian and Michael are extremely responsive and conscientious. They always strive to produce a better product by offering creative ideas and different solutions while working with us to hit deadlines within budget. I'm most impressed by their ability to present new ideas and build a creative and strategic deck to meet our goals, then execute production according to that deck. They help us tell our story in an impactful and creative way, so it has more meaning.

Grand Union Creative exceeded all expectations. The highlight video helped our foundation raise a substantial amount of money.
Grand Union Creative helped our non-profit organization create a robust video resource library for our website, which includes interviews and key insights from medical professionals and industry experts regarding Frontotemporal Dementia. They also put together an outstanding highlight video that was shown at our inaugural fundraiser event. This segment helped our foundation raise a substantial amount of money in support of a great cause. Their project management was outstanding — very responsive, and project deliverables were completed ahead of schedule. Their professionalism, creativity and close attention to detail stood out. I would highly recommend them.

Christian came well-prepared. He did his homework on our company and knew exactly what our vision was.
We got together in person and set out a timeline, then adhered to it. The crew did an initial walk-through and came back the next day and did the filming. They handled the audio and video editing and mixing. They delivered within budget and communicated well. Christian came well-prepared; he did his homework on our company and knew exactly what our vision was, and his team captured it. They understood the customer's needs. I recommend Grand Union Creative for all your video needs.

They took the time to understand our goals in full. The end result greatly exceeded expectations.
My firm hired Grand Union to create a marketing video for one of our upcoming real estate developments. They took the time to understand our goals in full, created a script and visuals for our review, and deftly incorporated our feedback. They were professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. The end result greatly exceeded expectations. I would recommend Grand Union to anyone in need of a professional, bespoke marketing video for their firm or project — we certainly intend to use them again soon.

We chose to work with them because they were straightforward and professional. The videos help us increase sales and communicate to our customers why we're different.
As the president of a chain of fast-casual restaurants in Chicago, our social media marketing was not working for us. We knew we had to make changes to stand out against all the media clutter. After an extensive search, we found Grand Union Creative and chose to work with them because they were straightforward and professional. We used them to create a series of video commercials and mini-documentaries that were displayed on social media and local TV channels. They helped us create our vision from start to finish. Michael & Christian sat down with me and our VP of Marketing and really got to understand our vision. They made the process very easy for us. Their level of cinematography, and digital and audio editing is extremely professional. The videos help us increase sales and communicate to our customers our message and why we're different from our competitors. We will continue to use them to help us grow our customer base.

Their affordability far surpassed anyone else in the area, yet their quality of work was still top notch.
Grand Union was a great group to work with. They were helpful in guiding us when we didn't have an artistic/creative vision. Their affordability far surpassed anyone else in the area yet their quality of work was still top notch. We are proud to use the branding and marketing content they created for us and will definitely use them again when we need a refresh in the future.
