Frequently Asked

The questions Chicago businesses ask before they hire us.

How much does professional video production cost in Chicago?

Chicago video production projects typically range from $5,000 for a single founder explainer video to $50,000+ for a multi-day brand campaign with full pre-production. Most Runna Media clients invest $8,000 to $30,000 for foundational packages and $4,000 to $10,000 per month for ongoing content retainers.

Does Runna Media work with businesses outside of Chicago?

Yes. While we are based in Chicago and specialize in the local market, we work with clients nationwide. Our team travels for shoots, and many of our deliverables (founder content, virtual interviews, post-production) can be produced remotely.

How long does a typical video project take?

Most foundational video packages take four to six weeks from kickoff to delivery: one to two weeks of pre-production, one shoot day, and three to four weeks of editing, color, sound, and revisions. Rush timelines can be accommodated.

What types of businesses does Runna Media work with?

We work with law firms, medical practices, restaurants, hotels, real estate developers, construction companies, multi-location brands, and B2B service businesses — primarily ones that need to build trust with high-intent buyers through high-quality video, photography, and content.

Do you offer photography in addition to video?

Yes. Runna Media offers commercial, product, brand, and team photography alongside video production. Many clients bundle a photo and video shoot on the same day to maximize content output and keep costs efficient.

How quickly can you start a new project?

Most projects can begin within two to three weeks of a signed scope. For urgent timelines, we can typically shoot within one week if dates align with our team's availability. Book a free strategy call to confirm timing for your specific project.
