History

Established in 1959.

Second City Communications is the business solutions division of The Second City, the world-​renowned comedy theatre that has been called a «Temple of Satire» and the «Harvard of Comedy.» We’ve been in the «interactive» and «social collaboration» space for five decades. We’ve just been calling it improv. Our alumni list reads like the Who’s Who of Comedy, including stars such as Alan Arkin, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Steve Carell, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert. At Second City Communications, we’ve taken the same audience-​empowered approach from the stage and used it to co-​create content marketing, entertainment and training programs with thousands of corporate clients. When you invite comedy into Fortune 1000 companies, it can lead to some pretty innovative collaborations, including learning/​training programs, internal communications initiatives, and content marketing assignments.
