Beyond The Pedway started back in April of 2009 when Tim Jahn, an active Chicago Convergence Member, decided to launch the web series to discover and showcase creative talent not known by everyone. While Chicago is home some of the largest advertising, marketing and creative agencies in the world, it also hosts many smaller creative companies that don't get as much recognition as the big guys.
Tims passion for video interviews allows him to capture the emotion and character of a person during an interview. His goal with Beyond The Pedway is to give viewers a personal insight into the people behind their companies.
Each interview aims to answer three simple questions:
Who are the people in the company?
What do they do?
Why do they do it in Chicago instead of anywhere else?
The theme behind the weekly series is 'creative companies'; video/audio production, public relations, marketing, advertising, web startups, interactive agencies, casting, writing, and more. Each webisode is backed by the soundtrack of a different Chicago musician or band.
Andrew Mason of Groupon, on Tim Jahns Beyond the PedwayTim found a partnership with
The Chicago Convergence, sponsoring the video series as a means of helping to showcase the city. Each week, The Chicago Convergence promotes a new company by hosting Beyond the Pedway on its home page and broadcasting the series each Friday morning to its thousands of members.
His mission is to show the world and the rest of Chicago our amazing creativity. Every week, Tim searches through the neighborhoods of Chicago to find all the amazing creative companies lurking...
Beyond the Pedway.
Launching the series has introduced him to some truly creative people, helped his identity as a community and business leader and expanded his own opportunities by bringing attention to his own interactive and web services.
