About Hippo Media

Hippo Media is a full-service video production agency based in Chicago, Illinois, that takes brand work from concept through final delivery. Its team handles commercials, branded content, and corporate video alongside a dedicated animation practice covering 2D, 3D, product explainers, and UI demos.

What sets the studio apart is that production and media strategy live under one roof. Beyond making the videos, Hippo Media plans and buys paid placement across connected TV, programmatic video and audio, YouTube, and display, so the same team that builds a campaign also gets it in front of the right audience.

The agency frames its work around results rather than polish alone, summing up its approach as creative that is built to perform. Its portfolio spans recognizable brands and organizations, and it leans on data and AI-assisted tooling to tighten the loop between a finished video and the response it drives.

For companies searching for video production in Chicago, Hippo Media offers an end-to-end option that combines storytelling craft with measurable distribution.
