What 3barn does

3barn, also doing business as 3barn Media Production, is a privately held video production company founded in 2017 and operated from a single studio at 550b Valley Rd., Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The company offers end-to-end video content services organized into three production phases: on-location filming (interviews, B-roll, cinematic drone, FPV drone), in-studio production (cyc-wall, production barn, soundproof booth), and post-production (video editing, color grading, motion graphics, sound design). Underlying capabilities are built around proprietary physical infrastructure—notably a 200-foot Cycorma Wall and the soundproof booth marketed as the quietest in Southeast Wisconsin—and capital equipment for aerial cinematography using both conventional and first-person-view drones. A separate charity video initiative is offered as pro-bono work for local nonprofits.

The company targets Southeast Wisconsin businesses across a horizontal mix of industries, with named customer logos spanning automotive (Van Horn Automotive Group), industrial manufacturing (Charter Manufacturing), innovation consulting (ConceptWorks), and construction/paving (Black Earth Pavement). Pricing is custom and quote-based per project under a professional-services revenue model, with no publicly disclosed tiers or recurring/SaaS contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: inbound inquiries through the 3barn.com website, supplemented by a regional Instagram and Facebook presence (3barnmedia) and portfolio showcasing of client stories. The firm is founder-owned (Kevin Pehler is the sole named owner) with 1–10 employees, no institutional funding, no parent company, and no disclosed partnerships, M&A activity, or expansion outside the Lake Country / Southeast Wisconsin footprint.
