Anyone can claim the standard. We can name the companies. XPO. GXO. Capital One. McKesson. Active relationships, real projects, and eleven years of work that earns the next call.
Most companies that claim Fortune 500 experience mean they once shot a video for a mid-size company that happened to sell to large corporations. We mean something different: active, direct, multi-year relationships with companies that appear on the list by name.
XPO has been a Fortune 500 company for years, ranked as high as #180 overall, and #1 in transportation and logistics for five consecutive years. GXO debuted on the Fortune 500 immediately after spinning off from XPO in 2021. Capital One sits at #82. McKesson is routinely in the top 10.
These aren't name-drops. They're relationships where we show up, get cleared through security, understand the brand standards, work through the approval process, and deliver work that runs inside some of the most visible organizations in the country.
When XPO decided to spin off GXO and RXO as independent companies, Side Chops was already embedded as their production partner. We documented one of the most complex corporate transformations in logistics history, from warehouse floors to Wall Street opening bells, producing brand launches, investor content, internal communications, and market leadership video for three companies simultaneously across 37 U.S. locations over six years.
They have gone the extra mile to understand our specific branding needs, our post-production workflow, and our company culture, to the point that they are a seamless extension of XPO's video team.

Read the full case studyCapital One has an exceptional internal video team. What they call Side Chops for is the work that falls outside their capacity: production shoots where their editors take the cut, motion graphics and animated content when their team is at capacity, and video assets for high-stakes Town Hall meetings when the team is already stretched building other deliverables for the same event.
McKesson is one of the largest companies in the United States. Our work with them spans internal meeting video, trade show content, motion graphics, and a C-Suite production for a meeting kickoff, including an executive-led creative piece. When a Fortune 500 company puts its C-Suite in creative video content, they're not calling someone they just met.
The cameras are the same. What changes is everything around them. Brand standards with hundreds of pages of guidelines. Legal review on every deliverable. Multi-stakeholder approval chains that can involve five departments before a frame gets signed off. Security clearances, NDAs, and confidentiality requirements that mean most of the work never sees a portfolio.
We've been inside all of it. We know how to keep production moving through a Fortune 500 approval process without losing momentum, and how to come back six months later without re-learning the brand.
In partnership with global brand consultancy Lippincott, Side Chops documented the North American launch of a global building solutions company, producing a launch film series and a footage and photography library across 14 U.S. cities in 18 production days.
The scope required coordinating aerial cinematography, executive interviews in active industrial facilities, crew members spread across the country, and a second production company working in parallel. Everything delivered on schedule.
When you need a team that operates like a well-oiled machine, has a knack for navigating obstacles that would make others cave, and has fun doing the hard work — Side Chops are that team.
