We previously mentioned that we will be distributing coasters to bars and venues in and around the Apollo Theater in support of the latest show extension of MDQ. In addition to that, we are also targeting Chicago campuses including Columbia College, Loyola, and DePaul for a massive poster distribution. Our teams will be out hanging up posters which feature removable tabs that you will want to get your hands on since they allow students to purchase $20 tickets to the show. Be on the look out these next few weeks for the posters, and take advantage of this great deal!
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Apollo Theater through March 28th. Please visit www.apollochicago.com for more information.

Soon, the unstoppable Million Dollar Quartet will be debuting on Broadway. But, that doesn’t mean the curtain is closing in Chicago just yet. MDQ is back for another extension, this time through the month of March! We have played a significant role in the promotion of this production over the past year, doing everything from hand-2-hand distributions to banner back pack promos, to on-the-street video interviews. This time around, we’ll be distributing coasters to bars, pubs, theaters, and other venues in the city. If you happen to spot one, be sure to hold on to it in order to get an $8 discount on select tickets!

If you were at the annual Lights Festival or Thanksgiving Day Parade, there’s a good chance you saw folks wearing Million Dollar Quartet banner packs, and handing out flyers to people waiting patiently for the parade. That was us! We handed out thousands of flyers (that we printed in house!) which contained $8 off coupons for tickets. MDQ has been running strong for over a year now, and is about to make the jump to New York for a run on Broadway. We have been involved with the production from day one, and were happy to do a holiday push. If you haven’t checked it out, go and see the show that has become a musical sensation!
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Apollo Theater through January 3rd.

To help garner more attention for Bob Dylan & His Band’s three day residency at the Aragon, our friends at the Advice Agency commissioned us to print and distribute posters for the concerts. We printed a few hundred, and then proceeded to blanket the city with them. Thanks to the addition of our printworks division, direction has become a one stop for all of your promotional needs. Tickets for these performances are almost all gone, so be sure to grab yours in order to see Dylan in this intimate setting.
Bob Dylan & His Band play the Aragon Ballroom October 29-31.

Ever since the release of last year’s Little Cat Plays the Alpha Rave, Chicago band My My My has seen their star rise significantly. Between the glowing reviews of their album, and their exciting live performances, they are quickly becoming quite the underground sensation. That is why we are ecstatic to be working with them again for their upcoming show at the Bottom Lounge. We will be distributing flyers and posters for this upcoming performance to neighborhoods all over the city. In addition, we’ll also be passing out flyers at several upcoming concerts, including The Mars Volta, when they make their appearance at the Congress Theater tonight. Don’t be afraid to come say hi to us, and to take a flyer!
My My My plays the Bottom Lounge September 18th.
