Get ready Chicago! The Mill is coming…
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Today brings huge news that we are thrilled to finally be able
to share. In addition to our offices in New York, Los Angeles and
London, and studio within BBH Singapore, The Mill will shortly open
an office in Chicago! The new office will be led by Jared Yeater as
Executive Producer and will co-locate with award-winning editorial
company, The Whitehouse. We expect that The Mill Chicago
will open its doors in early 2013.
Robin Shenfield, CEO and co-founder of The Mill said, "Over many
years, the advertising agencies in Chicago have been great
supporters of The Mill in New York, Los Angeles and London, so it
seems the right time to repay that support by establishing a local
presence with all the attributes of a full Mill studio including
VFX, finishing, design and color. We are delighted to announce
Jared's leadership of the new office and are lining up a team that
will include key Mill talent from all our other offices."

The Mill will co-locate with The Whitehouse in the landmark
Courthouse Place building at 54 West Hubbard Street. "We have a
very long history with The Whitehouse," says Robin. "Our two
companies were established a block apart in London more than 20
years ago and their senior editor / partner in Chicago, Matthew
Wood, actually began his career at The Mill in London so we have a
terrific history of working alongside each other."
Alistair Thompson, Managing Director of The Mill New York, has
worked with many of the advertising agencies in Chicago over the
last decade. He said, "Chicago is a thriving center of excellence
for advertising so we're very excited about now being able to be
part of the community there. We will have a really talented team on
the ground and it will be easier than ever for local clients to tap
into the resources of our NY and LA office where it is
appropriate."

We look forward to being able to share more information as we
get closer to launch in 2013 so keep your eyes peeled for photos,
news and more next year.
