Founded in 2018 after 10 years experience producing photography and photo entertainment for corporate events, Dan Merlo formed his own company, MERLO MEDIA.

The Chicago based company travels frequently within the United States and has already traveled twice internationally. MERLO MEDIA enjoys a long client list of recognizable and beloved brands, including top entertainment companies and major corporations.

"Clients, not jobs" is their favorite saying. As one patron put it “[Merlo Media] treats every client like they were the [$@%] Oscars! That’s why they love you.” It’s true; Merlo Media enjoys partnering with your brand to bring out your best.

Clients love that Merlo Media is a full service solution. Companies large and small hire them for one service, like an awards dinner, and then try them out for corporate headshots. They can simultaneously offer 3 greens screen photo booths and add photo event coverage as well. Merlo Media is able to provide a large team of photo experts for any event, and has never had to turn down a single event. If they don’t know how to immediately implement a new idea, they research and deliver a solution. Merlo Media's willingness to innovate based on client request is one way they regularly add new products to its long list of service offerings.

The pursuit of excellence, style, showmanship, reliability, creativity, tact, technical innovation, and flawless production distinguish MERLO MEDIA as a leading corporate event photography company in Chicago.
