Cats *and* video games? The Catcade, opened in 2017, offers a one-of-a-kind twist on animal rescue in Chicago. For a $20 donation, visitors enjoy an hour in this Lakeview lounge, where they can sip a complimentary beverage, play classic arcade games, watch movies, and cuddle with adoptable cats. And for those ready to make the connection permanent, adoptions are available, with all proceeds directly supporting The Catcade’s mission of rescuing more cats in need.
See It Media took charge of the full production for this video, from scheduling and filming interviews to capturing b-roll that showcases The Catcade’s fun and welcoming vibe. Our team also handled video distribution across See It Chicago’s website and social media, collaborating closely with The Catcade for cross-promotion that amplified the reach and engagement of both brands.
The video resonated strongly, even earning an Emmy nomination from the Chicago chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in the Outstanding Achievement in Magazine Programming category.
