FoxDog Consultants

What FoxDog Consultants does

FoxDog Consultants, LLC is a Chicago-based creative production agency founded in 2013 by Bryan Pray. The firm provides full-service event production and experiential marketing services to enterprise clients, with offerings spanning event staffing, professional presenters and emcees, creative conceptualization, script writing, technical direction, AV consultation, video production, animation, graphics creation, and custom app development. Its named client base skews heavily Fortune 100 and large enterprise across technology (Cisco, Trend Micro, Veritas, Citrix, Palo Alto Networks), healthcare (McKesson, TigerConnect, StayWell Surgical), manufacturing (ESAB), and entertainment (The Recording Academy, GBTA).

The company operates on a horizontal services model organized across four functional tiers — staffing services (booth assistants, ambassadors, presenters, onsite directors), creative services (conceptualization, script writing, animation, graphics), technical services (AV consultation, technical direction, video production, stage management), and consulting/training (program design, speaker coaching, sales training). Service delivery relies on a small internal core team led by an Executive Producer/Creative Director and a Director of Talent, supplemented by contracted event personnel (emcees, crowd gatherers, booth ambassadors) drawn from a maintained, vetted roster.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements with corporate marketing teams, with pricing determined per project scope rather than via published rate cards. As a private LLC with 1–10 employees and no disclosed outside funding, the company appears to be bootstrapped and founder-controlled. Demand is generated primarily through direct enterprise sales, content marketing via the FoxBlog, a public media gallery, and named enterprise client testimonials; the company website functions as the primary lead channel with a contact form and phone line, and no partnerships, geographic expansion, or platform technology beyond a standard corporate website are disclosed.
