Schafer Condon Carter and Old National Bank Salute Pope Leo XIV

The Windy City is abuzz following the election of Chicagoland native Pope Leo XIV, and that excitement has carried over to the billboards.

SCREEN is sharing a fun update from Chicago-based creative agency Schafer Condon Carter (SCC) and their longtime client Old National Bank.

As part of ONB’s permanent billboard along Chicago’s Kennedy Expressway, SCC rolled out a timely message celebrating the election of Pope Leo XIV, who was born in Dolton, Illinois. The billboard reads, “Deep Dish. Now available in Rome.” followed by “Congratulations Pope Leo XIV. Chicago is so proud!”, delivering a dose of Chicago humor to this global announcement.

Let’s take a look at the billboard in action…
