20 years of creative excellence is a spectacular achievement, but our team isn't stopping there!
Celebrating the 150th anniversary of both the Great Chicago Fire and the Great Peshtigo Fire, Balance has jumped back in history to experience how two major areas were affected by the fires that waged war on the Midwest in 1871.
Check out the City on Fire Exhibit, now open at the Chicago History Museum to experience the Cyclorama like never before and learn how the relief and aid provided during the recovery was distributed. Learn more here: https://www.chicago1871.org/
The lesser known Peshtigo Fire is considered the most devastating forest fire in American history. The Belgian Heritage Center is remembering the devastation and sharing the story of the Belgian settlers with an incredible event, featuring The Great Fire video we were honored to partner with the BHC in creating.

Happy Birthday to our President and Creative Director, Darren!
Not just an artist. A visionary.
Not just a boss. A leader.
Not just an innovator. A life-long evangelist for digital storytelling.
20 years down. So many more to go!
Some of our favorite clients are the smaller, local centers that we get to help make their stories come alive and the Belgian Heritage Center are one of our favorites. This week we filmed additional footage for the upcoming video all about The Great Fire.
Did you know the Peshtigo Fire happened the same year as the Chicago Fire and was more devastating? In fact, it’s considered the deadliest wildfire in recorded history. Learn about this heritage’s incredible history and how they are preserving the Walloon language at the Belgian Heritage Center in Brussels, WI.

This week we are celebrating 4 awesome years with Sam!
It’s rare to find someone directly out of school with the passion and expertise in Unity programming that was found in Sam. He has grown into our Lead Application Developer, continually finding solutions to problems people didn't know they had.
We are excited to see what Year 5 will bring! Congratulations!

How do you explore your world?

Balance Digital Media Studios is set up to work with global companies, remote workers, and go fully digital. But, we still love being in our main studio in Green Bay, WI.
With the move to be virtual, why do we love having everyone in house? That's easy. We have always believed in balance.
Balancing the digital and analog. Balancing work and life. Balancing the story with the creative. Balancing safety and productivity.
If you visit our studio, you'll understand too. The energy, the creativity, the collaboration, and innovation can't be beat by being able to shout an idea out the hall.
Nothing beats the ability to step away from the monotony of the same office and bounce ideas off of a coworker. We love using tech to enhance everything, but sometimes the best solution is a whiteboard brainstorming session. Virtual Events are an amazing global networking tool, but we can't get enough of those in-person experiences.
The option to work remotely is great. But we have to admit, being in person is better.
So Tell Us! Do you miss the energy and vibe of your studios and offices or prefer the solitude of home? Are you already back in the office or working remotely permanently now?
We are digital storytellers. We focus on the story. The content. The experience.
If you focus on using a specific technology and the story comes second, you will always struggle to make your content the highlight.
Having a cool AR app is meaningless unless it's sharing an amazing story and fantastic content that brings users back time and time again.
If you're ready to share your brand's story in inventive ways, let's connect on the possibilities.

“You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.” —Aristotle

How do you explore your world?
Do you try to connect with your history? What about world history?
Learning can happen virtually anywhere. The Howard University Center for African Studies is always seeking excellent resources to enhance their students' learning, so they decided to create their own.
Working with the Balance team to deliver incredible stories, they created an amazing interactive map that shares an ever-expanding knowledge base, inviting users to explore hundreds of topics related to the Ghana, Mali, and Songhai empires and their role in global history.

We could tell you how passionate we are about creating amazing experiences, but our clients say it better.
"From the beginning of a project to opening day and beyond, [the team] exhibited extraordinary professionalism, commitment to excellence and a creative, “can-do” spirit. Working with them is a true, collaborative partnership in every sense of the word. This team cares deeply about the end result and understands what it takes to create exceptional guest experiences. Whether things are easy or difficult, they are a pleasure to work with and they give it their all.”
