KPG Creative

What KPG Creative does

KPG Creative (legal entity Kelly Production Group, Inc.) is a privately held, founder-owned B2B production company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 2002 by Bob Kelly. The firm delivers two integrated service lines: strategic video production for sales, marketing, and internal communications, and full-service corporate event production spanning live, virtual, and hybrid formats (sales meetings, annual conferences, awards ceremonies, leadership summits, town halls, incentive trips, user conferences, and product launches). Underlying the offering is a proprietary methodology called ROVI (Return on Video Investment), a tracking and measurement framework that ties video investments to business outcomes through performance analytics, audience engagement tracking, and custom audience persona tools.

The company monetizes primarily on a project-based professional services model. Pricing spans $2,500 to $50,000 for video projects (brand films, customer case studies, product launches, conference openers, training content) and $25,000 to $500,000 for corporate event production, supported by published labor rates ($50–$150/hour) and studio/equipment rental rates ($50–$150/hour). Supporting add-on modules include audio production, presentation design, motion graphics, 3D visuals, and a 20'x40' production studio with 4K/HD camera packages.

Go-to-market is consultative enterprise sales targeting executive-level decision makers (CMOs, corporate event planners, sales/HR/communications leaders, CEOs) at Fortune 1000 organizations and fast-growing mid-market companies. Distribution is regional across Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and the Midwest with national reach for scaled programs, supplemented by a referral-driven base reporting client tenures of 5–20+ years. Marketing channels include the corporate website, a dedicated ROVI landing page, LinkedIn, YouTube, Product Hunt, and Calendly-based scheduling with the founder. The firm holds 1 Emmy, 33 Telly Awards (7 Silver), 10 Communicator Awards, and 7 Aurora Awards (1 Platinum) among other industry recognitions.

Core offering

KPG Creative provides full-service corporate event production (live, virtual, and hybrid) for sales meetings, annual conferences, awards ceremonies, leadership summits, town halls, product launches, and incentive trips, paired with strategic B2B video production for corporate brand films, product launches, customer case studies, training, and executive communications. Underpinning both is the proprietary ROVI (Return on Video Investment) methodology, which uses custom audience persona tools, video performance tracking, and tagging to tie every production dollar to measurable pipeline, revenue, retention, and engagement outcomes rather than "pretty pictures" or "fun events."
