envisionit media has extended a warm, summertime welcome to one of the newest clients to our interactive agency, the ROOF at theWit in Chicago. The new relationship may require more than a few “user experience” visits on our part. Or, we hope so, anyway.

Sitting atop theWit, ROOF is Chicago’s unparalleled stargazing destination. A glamorous, 7,000 square foot, year-round indoor/outdoor lounge, ROOF offers stunning city views, roaring fire pits, handcrafted cocktails, live music, and–get this: a suspended, glass-enclosed table for eight that literally dangles 27 floors above the city. Rounding out this perfect experience is acclaimed chef Todd Stein’s menu of Italian-inspired small plates—American cuisine he created during his time as Executive Chef at MK restaurant.

We at envisionit media are raising our glasses high–very high–for the work ahead on this one. Welcome to our team, ROOF!

Chicago definitely loves its baseball season. And we know lots of visitors come to town to either root, root, root, root for the Cubbies or share President Obama’s love of the White Sox.  No matter which team you visit, Hotel Sax can help make your Game Day even more exciting.

Hotel Sax is featuring a baseball-themed package this season, which allows guests to choose their preferred “side” – northside Cubbies or southside Sox – and then enjoy a hotel stay centered around that choice.  The hotel then developed customized walking maps for each baseball field and surrounding area. The map will guide game-goers to the appropriate “el” train, how to walk from the train to the ballpark, and also recommended bars and eateries in or near each park. Add a bag of peanuts and you are ready to go and cheer on your team.

Let’s play ball!
