About
Built for the businesses that keep Chicagoland running.
AEB Media was founded by Alex Balan with a simple observation: the local businesses doing the best work are usually the worst at showing it. The plumber with a hundred five-star jobs and no reviews online. The gym that changes lives and posts twice a year. The cleaning company that loses every after-hours lead to whoever answers first.
Not because they don't care — because they're busy doing the actual work. So we built the agency around that reality: done-for-you content and systems that turn attention into revenue. We show up with cameras, we script the hooks, we run the ads, we wire up the automations — and the owner keeps running the business.
Across our client accounts, that approach has generated over 127 million views — and more importantly, the interactions, followers, and client inquiries that come with them.

What we believe
Done-for-you or it doesn't happen
Every owner plans to post more, follow up faster, run better ads — next week. We build systems that don't depend on your spare time, because you don't have any.
Attention is only step one
Views don't pay rent. Every piece of content and every ad we make is wired into something — a form, a booking, a follow-up — that turns attention into revenue.
Local is different
A local business doesn't need to go viral in Tokyo. It needs the right people within twenty minutes of the shop to see it, trust it, and call. That's the game we play.
