We’re a social impact agency on a mission to communicate ideas worth fighting for. Ideas of hope, change and innovation guide our work to create a just and sustainable world. We use the power of storytelling, design, video and grassroots organizing to propel socially responsible brands. Our clients are leading humanitarian organizations, think tanks, universities, government agencies, tech innovators and social enterprises who fight society’s toughest challenges.
Our agency focuses corporate social impact, political campaigns, brand positioning and issue communications. Our staff are activists at heart and creative strategists by trade. With research and passion, we drive progressive business models through client projects, compelling content and curated events.
In our free time, we cultivate a community of change agents through our debate series, the annual Hack-a-thon, and charity projects throughout the year. As a result, we can take our advocacy efforts to new heights by helping local leaders get involved with the important issues affecting their communities.
We’re always finding ways to foster a creative environment of constant learning and action among the Chicago community of thought leaders, changemakers, innovators and creative geniuses. Together we can find solutions and build plans that have a deeper impact in the lives of those most disadvantaged.
BATTLE CIVIL SERIES
At the end of every quarter, we host a intimate community debate among community leaders, innovators, government officials (public servants) and representatives from the Democratic, Republican and Independent parties. Together we discuss current issues and new developments to address those issues in an effective way.
iCHANGE HACK-A-THON
We created an annual immersive hack-a-thon for change agents that challenges activists, creatives,  developers and strategists to connect around the issues that matter. Three groups will take on a different issue given to them by three partnering nonprofits. Over the course of a single weekend, the groups will create campaign communication pieces on the issues. On the last day, each group will present their work to a panel of investors. The investors will then chose a winner who will receive an investment and contract with House of Battles to further the work created.
LEGACY VENTURES
In addition to our Thanksgiving and Christmas drives, every year we partner with businesses, foundations, community development corporations and government officials to participate in community enhancement projects. Prior projects have included school and library beautification, neighborhood cleaning and book drives. We love meeting new people with new ideas for bettering the Chicago community and abroad.
We work to channel our clients’ values by creating powerful narratives and designing captivating imagery that inspire action and make complex information accessible and easy to grasp.
