OUR STORY

Founded in Chicago in 2013, INDIRAP has delivered 20,000+ videos for 900+ brands nationwide - from Fortune 500 companies like Hyatt Hotels Corporation and LinkedIn to venture-backed startups and government agencies. Led by founder Julian Tillotson, a graduate of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, INDIRAP specializes in strategic video production, social media marketing, and paid advertising campaigns that drive measurable business results.

Our mission is simple: help brands scale faster through visual storytelling that actually converts. We don't create content for content's sake. Every video, every campaign, every piece of creative work is built on a foundation of research, strategy, and proven performance metrics. Our approach centers on three core principles: Engage. Educate. Entertain.

Unlike traditional agencies that outsource production or offer fragmented solutions, INDIRAP handles everything in-house. From concept development and scriptwriting through filming, editing, and post-production, our team controls every aspect of the creative process. This ensures consistent quality, faster turnarounds, and content that aligns with your brand strategy at every touchpoint.

We serve clients across industries including hospitality, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and professional services. Our client roster includes Gordon Food Service, Compass Real Estate, Onni Group, Accenture, Salesforce, Motorola, and Google - alongside hundreds of emerging brands building their market position.

Based in Chicago's West Loop, we combine enterprise-level strategic thinking with the speed and accountability of a focused, lean team. We believe video content should do more than tell a story - it should inspire action, foster connections, and drive growth across marketing, sales, and recruitment.

INDIRAP represents a commitment to innovation, authenticity, and results-driven content marketing in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

OUR FOUNDER: JULIAN TILLOTSON

Julian Tillotson founded INDIRAP in 2013 with a simple conviction: video content should drive measurable business results, not just engagement metrics. Over the next decade, he's built INDIRAP into one of the most trusted video production and social media marketing agencies in Chicago, delivering over 20,000+ videos for 900+ brands nationwide.

Julian's approach is strategic, not transactional. "We don't just create content - we build full-funnel systems that support marketing, sales, and recruitment," he explains. "Every video needs a distribution strategy, every campaign needs optimization, and every brand needs a repeatable process they can scale."

His client roster reflects this philosophy. INDIRAP has partnered with Fortune 500 companies including Hyatt Hotels Corporation (11+ year relationship), LinkedIn, and Gordon Food Service, alongside venture-backed startups, government agencies, and high-growth SMBs across the United States.

Julian graduated from Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, a prestigious program for high-growth entrepreneurs. This training brought enterprise-level strategic thinking to INDIRAP's operations - translating into better systems, faster execution, and more predictable outcomes for clients.

Julian's early career in sales and finance revealed a critical gap: businesses were investing in content without understanding distribution, attribution, or ROI. He launched INDIRAP to solve that problem - building an agency that thinks like a growth team, not a production house.

I’ve partnered with Indirap for two separate projects (corp tech), and they knocked it out of the ballpark. What I love most partnering with Indirap is their ability to quickly intake the scope of our project and deliver our creative vision seamlessly. In addition, on-site they have top of the notch equipment and amazing team leads who can direct, produce, and capture a moment that really translates to high quality videos we’re able to distribute to various channels. Every single video is above & beyond the quality and creative vision we hoped to achieve. We appreciate their partnership and will be partnering with them again soon. Thank you, Julian and team!!!
