Our Story

KPG Creative was founded in 2002 out of a need for something different.  We wanted to focus on telling great stories and creating memorable experiences…. rather than obsess over gadgets & gear.

After all, staging and video production equipment are only tools.

The creative ideas that implement them is what really counts.  Our staff brings a wide range of experiences to the company, but we all share a passion for great storytelling that evokes emotions and drives action.

I wanted to let you know how much we, and all the folks attending the celebration, loved the video of HRC. It was beautifully done, with just the right amount of content, to fully tell the story. I am amazed that you could take almost three hours of interviewing and turn out a piece of work that conceptualized, so nicely, the 20 years.
