Casting Real Cubs Fans for Amazon at Wrigley Field
Our first Chicago project knocked it out of the park.
When Amazon and Fuse Marketing needed real, authentic Chicago locals to help showcase their Just Walk Out technology at Wrigley Field, they turned to us at Aura Casting—and we were all in.
This non-union commercial shoot called for fun, hip adults ages 25–35 to portray true Cubs fans navigating the seamless shopping experience inside the ballpark. No dialogue, just great vibes and real reactions.
The shoot took place during a Cubs game at Wrigley, and while it was our first time casting in Chicago, we brought the same national expertise we’ve used across 12 other states—including recent projects in Las Vegas, Nashville, and Austin.
How We Delivered
We worked fast, sourcing talent from:
Local talent agencies
Casting platforms
And a strong social media push targeting real Chicagoans
To deliver the authenticity our producer wanted, we prioritized locals who actually live and breathe Cubs culture. We asked for selfies, full-body shots, and bonus photos in fan gear. The response? Overwhelming—in the best way. Chicago brought the energy, and we delivered a standout cast ready for game day.
