The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce (NACC) is one of the largest Chambers in Illinois, serving 1,100 members ranging from local startups to Fortune 500 companies. As a 5-star accredited organization, an honor held by only 3% of Chambers nationwide, the NACC has spent over a century building a business community where the right connections open the right doors.
ANNUAL GALA: STUDIO 60540
The Chamber's Annual Gala brings together members, sponsors, and community leaders for an evening that celebrates the Naperville business community at its best, typically drawing over 400 attendees.
Studio 60540 gave the night a distinct identity, a 70’s Studio 54-inspired theme reimagined through a Naperville lens, with the zip code woven directly into the name. The campaign was built to do what the gala itself does every year: bring people together, celebrate the progress of the Naperville business community, and strengthen the partnerships that keep the Chamber's work moving forward.

The campaign lived across four social platforms, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and LinkedIn, with roughly 20 posts rolling out from late November through late January. Analytics shaped the timing and content decisions throughout, while graphics and promotional materials were designed in Canva alongside the Director of Marketing, staying rooted in the Studio 60540 theme and the Chamber's brand.
Email marketing brought the campaign to over 7,000 contacts, covering invitations, reminders, and sponsorship promotions from start to finish.
The Studio 60540 campaign generated buzz across all four platforms, with members actively commenting, sharing, and tagging their networks in the lead-up to the event.
Consistent creative messaging kept the Chamber's professional image front and center throughout, strengthening trust with both members and sponsors. The collaboration with local businesses and partners added visibility on both sides, reinforcing the kind of community relationships the Chamber exists to build.
Alongside campaign work, blog content kept Chamber members informed with local information, relevant advice, and a closer look at what was happening within the organization.
