Mission Statement
At CynCity Creative, our mission is to provide high-quality, versatile studio spaces and an expert creative team to help creative professionals elevate their craft and amplify their careers. We’re committed to equipping Chicago creatives with the tools, team, and strategy needed to turn creative passion into professional success—without leaving their city, their roots, or their authenticity behind. By fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence right here in Chicago, we aim to position our city alongside Los Angeles and New York as a premiere destination for top-tier talent.
What We Offer
Host or Attend skills-building workshops. Interested in attending a workshop hosted by one of our team members? Investing in a CynCity Creative workshop is an investment in yourself.
The Press Room & Content Corner is a dedicated space designed for interviews, content creation, and on-camera storytelling. Whether you're capturing dynamic conversations, filming digital features, or producing branded content, this versatile area is equipped to support high-quality production in a creative, professional setting.
Get “In the Mix” at our monthly networking mixers where like minded creatives connect and collaborate. Bring your ideas, we’ll bring the vibes.
You don’t need new headshots, you need an ê-CYN-s shot. The industry needs an introduction (or re-introduction) to you. How do you want to introduce yourself? As a “type” or as you? As another face in a square or as a dynamic talent ready to book and show up to work?
Let our master hairstylist/colorist, master barber, braid specialist, makeup artists and wardrobe stylists demonstrate your versatility or help you show your authentic self.
Harness the power of the visual. TV and film may be the goal but in the meantime, cast yourself in a starring role. An IG reel, a YouTube short, web series, monologue or scene performance can make an impact. Stop waiting for your big break. Let’s do something big now. Sit down with our team and let them help you create compelling visual content from concept to creation.
Share your work to gain exposure. Share resources to build community. Digital media strategy is not just content creation but content curation. It’s our responsibility to one another, as artists, to share our journey.
We know you can command the carpet with style and grace, but Media Coaching will ensure you are comfortable and confident so you can handle interview questions with the same grace and style.
We offer the spaces to work on your craft or create your visions. We offer Photography Studio, Glam Suite, Press Room/Content Corner, traditional and modern Podcast spaces, and outdoor filming space for hourly rentals.

Our creative package options offer something for every stage of brand elevation!
