fig blog

Our client, Billy Dec was on CNN tonight 6pm CST, talking about bringing the 2016 Olympics to Chicago! fig has done video for him, as well as designed his blog, http://www.achicagothing.com

Back in the spring, long standing client Billy Dec came to Fig to design the personal branding and personal blog- A Chicago Thing. With Dec’s style and vision, Fig put together a blog suited to keep Chicago up to date with the city and Dec’s latest happenings. The site not only launched online, but launched with a huge party thrown at the Underground and appearances by Busta Rhymes and Nick Cannon.

Fig is very excited about the huge success of the blog. After the design was finished, Fig has stayed onboard consulting on ways to reach new audiences and engage with friends and visitors. Billy Dec’s blog was recently selected to be a feature blogger on ChicagoNow.com. Fig was also asked to help out with campaigns to create buzz around new Chicago 2016 Video Blog’s Dec has been working on behind the scenes.

All in all – the Billy Dec and Fig partnership has turned out to be a fun successful experiment, and has given Fig the resources and experience to leverage into other client’s social media needs.
