Kam Buckner

Project details

State Representative Kam Buckner is an emergent political leader in Chicago, and his story is only beginning. While Fortress is not a political agency, we were inspired by Kam’s passion for the city we call home. Our work, conducted prior to Kam’s public mayoral candidacy announcement, included building his campaign website, designing his brand, orchestrating video production shoots, and more.

#Service

Set Kam Buckner and his team up for success in their long-term goal of ensuring that Chicago’s brightest days are still ahead.

By producing an Emmy-nominated announcement commercial, a comprehensive website experience, and an unmistakable brand identity, Fortress gave Kam Buckner a launching point to achieve big things in politics.

Kam Buckner understands Chicagoans because he is one. We created this video to send that message and tell his story.

The Website

Kam Buckner’s vision is not one-dimensional; we knew his website could not be one-dimensional either. We strove to incorporate all of his “Four Pillars” – public safety, education, economic development, and fiscal responsibility – all in a visually appealing, accessible, and functional way.

Kam’s Story

Kam Buckner is a son of Chicago. His South Side roots and a family history of public service are central to his day-to-day representation of Chicagoans in the Illinois General Assembly. For all future elections, we laid the blueprint to show voters that when they are supporting Kam they are supporting one of their own.

We provided several different modes of storytelling for the Buckner campaign. One of these was video production. In addition to the initial campaign launch video, Fortress assisted in the production of interview content to be displayed on the website and on social media.
