Rome’s Joy Companies · Bronzeville, Chicago
Everything made for Chef Cliff Rome’s companies, in one place: three videos for the TVs at Peach’s, a playlist from the Parkway Ballroom’s history, Peach’s merch, an idea for a neighborhood screen network, and a new website for each of the seven companies.
In-store screens
Each video is 1920×1080 and repeats on its own on a BrightSign player. Only the entrance screen has sound.

Parkway Ballroom · since March 9, 1940
38 recordings by musicians who played the ballroom at 4455 S. King Drive, from opening night to the gospel mornings of today. Every name was checked against period sources such as Billboard, Variety, Jet and the Chicago Defender, and the date sits under each song.
Merch ideas
Ten designs: a six-piece starter line (tee, crewneck, cap, tote, mug and a take-home pantry) and four tee concepts, built from the restaurant’s wordmark, mascot, menu and corner.
Idea · market with other businesses
Put the same kind of TV in barbershops, salons, laundromats, auto shops and waiting rooms around 47th and King, free to the business. Each screen runs that shop’s own specials and Instagram, plus a few ads from neighbors.
