REELCREATIVE COFOUNDERS GO ALL IN

REELCREATIVE COFOUNDERS GO ALL IN
Agency enters a new era of growth and creative ambition

What started with a few cameras, a drone, and a shared passion in 2017 has grown into something much bigger: a creative agency with heart, hustle, and vision. And as of today, we’re all in.

All three co-founders—Matthew Klein, Kyle Petersen, and Connor Broderick—are now full-time with the agency, deepening their commitment to its mission and momentum. This moment has been years in the making.

Matthew Klein pairs a strong foundation in business strategy with a passion for storytelling. He holds both a B.S. and MBA from Bradley University, where he earned top honors in leadership and innovation. After founding his own production company as a teenager, he has spent the past several years leading high-impact video productions, shaping brand narratives, and delivering integrated marketing strategies for clients across a wide range of industries.

Kyle Petersen, a self-taught cinematographer and editor, has become known for his precision, bold visual style, and ability to capture emotion in motion. He recently completed a highly sought-after one year video production internship with the Kansas City Chiefs and directed the documentary “Ice Climbers of Starved Rock”.

Connor Broderick began producing videos as a teenager and has since built a portfolio spanning client work, original content, and branded series. His creative intuition, paired with a sharp eye for strategy and emerging trends, adds depth to the team’s perspective and approach. Connor will complete his degree in Marketing with a minor in Mass Media at Illinois State University this May, balancing his final semester alongside client work.

Today, reelCreative is proud to offer industry-leading videography and photography, creative direction, and content strategy—delivering the highest standard of visual storytelling in the Illinois Valley and Starved Rock Country region.

From branded films and commercial spots to documentaries and digital campaigns, the team handles every stage of production with unmatched precision, creativity, and professionalism. Clients come to reelCreative for bold ideas, polished execution, and results that resonate long after the screen fades to black.

reelCreative is proudly rooted in the Illinois Valley and Starved Rock Country—where the company first took shape. Their deep community ties and instinct for Midwestern storytelling keep them grounded, even as their work travels far beyond the region.

The announcement comes alongside the debut of the agency’s 2025 showreel—a highlight of recent work and a glimpse at where reelCreative is headed next. View the full reel at www.reelcreativeco.com/motion/2025showreel.
