Comcast Business collaborates with top
Chicago artists to showcase mobile
solutions through larger-than-life art
CHICAGO, Sept. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move that blends creativity
and technology, Comcast Business today announced a unique new
collaboration in Chicago.
Partnering with four prominent Chicago-based artists, Comcast Business
introduced four larger-than-life smartphone statues in key
neighborhoods across the city. This initiative is designed to
spotlight the crucial role of mobile technologies in today's
business market while celebrating Chicago's vibrant arts scene.
Between September 19th
and October 10, 2024, the city will
become a canvas for creativity and innovation as the nine-foot-tall
mobile statues, each uniquely designed by local artists, make their
debut in Lincoln Park, Pilsen, The
Loop, and Hyde Park. These creative
activations represent Comcast Business's commitment to
industry-leading mobile solutions, as well as its desire to foster
deeper connections in the communities that fuel Chicago's dynamic business landscape.
"In today's ever-connected world, businesses require robust,
flexible mobile solutions that keep them ahead," said Tracy Pitcher, Senior Vice President of Comcast
Business, Central Division. "Our collaboration with these talented
artists underscores Comcast Business's dedication to both
technological innovation and community engagement. These statues
are an exciting visual celebration of both."
The project also includes a sweepstakes, open to businesses
within Comcast's Greater Chicago Region, which spans Central and
Northern Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and Southwest Michigan. Five lucky winners will
