Humbug Media

Humbug Media Humbug Media is a creative production company based in Chicago, IL. So why Humbug? The name "Humbug" is inspired by entertainment pioneer P.T. Barnum.

We aim to think outside of the proverbial box to generate unique content for today’s digital world. Barnum called himself the "Prince of Humbug." He defined a humbug as the ability to put a high polish and a personal touch on things to create a product that was ultimately much greater than the sum of its parts. Barnum was in the business of entertainment and always managed to demonstrate the value

of that business to his customers. Those who had been "humbugged" couldn't help but admit they'd had a good time in the process and that it had been well worth their time to experience something truly great. Like Barnum, Humbug Media aims to create quality entertainment with a creative theatrical touch leaving your intended audience wanting more. When we make a promise, we intend to deliver, and we are confident our product will speak for itself.
