A Look at The Making of A Commercial with Cubs Catcher Carson Kelly

Ankin Law is back to working with Chicago professional athletes on commercials for 2026.

One of those is Cubs catcher Carson Kelly, whom we’ve partnered with for a series of spots with Attorney Howard Ankin on Marquee Sports Network. 

These have already begun airing as the north siders have enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 season.

Originally from Arlington Heights, Kelly is entering his second year with the Cubs, helping them end a five-year playoff drought during the 2015 season. He remains the team’s primary catcher as the Cubs have remained in first place through a majority of the first month-and-a-half of the season.

Partnering with Cubs players is nothing new for Ankin Law as Howard has taped commercials with Andre Dawson, Javier Baez and Willson Contreras in past years.

The Kelly ads were the first which the personal injury law firm has taped at the studios of Marquee Sports Network since its inception in 2020.   

You can check out the “Behind The Scenes” video from the shoot in April in the video.

Chicago personal injury and workers’ compensation attorney Howard Ankin has a passion for justice and a relentless commitment to defending injured victims throughout the Chicagoland area. With decades of experience achieving justice on behalf of the people of Chicago, Howard has earned a reputation as a proven leader in and out of the courtroom. Respected by peers and clients alike, Howard’s multifaceted approach to the law and empathetic nature have secured him a spot as an influential figure in the Illinois legal system.
