Meet the Team
Brandon
Creating Vision and Refining Details
Meet Brandon J. Crichlow, a proud Chicago native and one of the founders of Crichlow Media. His journey began with a deep love for music, sparking a passion for DJing and collecting records during his college years.
After graduating from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in Audio Design and Production (B.S.), he discovered a perfect blend of creativity and technical expertise.
Navigating through roles at Apple Inc., UChicago, and the world of advertising, he spent almost a decade at a Chicago Ad Agency.
During this time, he observed a concerning lack of diversity in the industry, leaving untold stories untapped. This realization inspired the creation of Crichlow Media.
At Crichlow Media, Brandon brings together his natural leadership skills and technical abilities to craft enduring stories that forge emotional connections for our clients.
Maureen
Pushing Strategy and Purpose
Maureen Crichlow is a multi-faceted, accomplished educator, librarian, and leader in the healing arts. Her first passion runs deep in mass communications, as she is committed to sharing information and telling stories. Maureen received a Bachelor of Arts in Radio and Television Broadcasting from Western Illinois University in 2004 with a minor in Business Marketing.
After briefly working in Radio and Television Production, she took a career turn to the teaching profession, as a School Library Media Specialist. Earning Master's Degrees in Elementary Education, Library Science, and Educational Leadership along the way, Maureen has served as a leader in this capacity for over 15 years. She currently serves as a Director of Library Media Programs for a small Chicago suburban school district and is a relentless advocate for school library programs in underserved communities.
Maureen is also a Holistic Educator, Crystal Reiki Master Healer, and Creative Entrepreneur. Her wellness brand, Moonstone Chandlery® is an extension of her work in the healing arts and a deep part of her personal journey.
After expressing the need to get back to broadcasting, an opportunity arose to co-produce a health and wellness podcast. Ten episodes later, she realized there was no turning back. The studio was home, and her skills were reactivated.
Through Crichlow Media, Maureen currently marries her production skill set with her husband Brandon, to help other entrepreneurs and leaders to tell their stories through video and audio production with sound marketing strategy.
