Hey! KB here.

I’m an integrated producer who turns creative chaos into polished, purposeful content—balancing creativity with precision and just the right amount of caffeine. Think of me as “Type A meets Type B in perfect harmony.” What does that mean for you? Sharp creative, tight logistics, and a collaborative vibe from start to finish.

These days, you’ll find me teaming up with GLP Creative, completing the trifecta of brand, agency, and production company experience. With their agency and post‑production partners, Konvoy and Trident, I deliver seamless, concept‑to‑delivery support for video and photo productions of any scale.

Previously, I led the production function within UKG’s Global Brand & Creative team. I managed a team of 5, overseeing things like processes, resourcing, and budgets, while producing full‑scale video and photo productions that supported the entire organization. Before that, I moved quickly through the agency ranks, producing work for brands like Acura, Burger King, Degree Deodorant, and FAGE Greek Yogurt.

Producers shouldn’t be barriers; they should be partners and problem‑solvers. That’s what I bring to the table.

Let’s make something cool together.

From the people who know me.

  • "If you hire Kelly, here’s what you get: 10x more value than you anticipated. Incredible energy, positivity and gumption. Hard-working honesty. Someone who goes above and beyond. Exceptional professionalism and skill. And just a truly pleasant, happy and fun colleague to boot. Whether as a leader or solo on your project - Kelly is all this and more."

    Wayne Barringer

    CEO, Jaro Group

  • "Kelly Benson has become my first choice for post producer. In my nearly 30 years as an editor/animator, and in spaces ranging from corporate to network television, indie film to national advertising, very few producers I've worked with have matched her skills. She is able to somehow lower the heat and raise the excitement for every project, providing the ideal environment for people to do their best work. Watching her with clients has always been a how-to in professional grace. Highly effective, fun, and always with a positive attitude."

    Kenna Michaels

    Senior Motion Designer, UKG

  • "She brings a contagious enthusiasm to every project that makes you feel like any crazy idea is achievable. Her creative energy is unmatched, always bringing fresh ideas to the table and staying on top of trends...Kelly is an exceptional leader with a deep passion for creativity and a strong commitment to her team. She is able to balance high-level conceptual thinking with strategic execution, pushing the quality of the work while building strong, lasting relationships with clients."

    Jakob Grauds

    Director, Global Brand & Creative, UKG

  • "What truly sets Kelly apart is her ability to influence and build strong relationships across teams while keeping an eye on continuous improvement. She’s not someone who does things “because that’s how it’s always been done.” Instead, she constantly looks for smarter, more efficient, and more human ways of working, something that made collaborating with her such a rewarding experience."

    Jeffrey Jacobs

    Strategic Creative Operations Leader, UKG

  • "If you’re looking for someone who is a joy to work with, who inspires people to do their best work, who is resourceful, calm, balanced, insightful - and fun, and who can smooth out any wrinkles your project faces, look no further. I had the pleasure of working for Kelly for over two years, and her leadership, instincts, and skills are second to none."

    Amy McCoy

    Executive Producer, Freelance

  • "The best producer I’ve even had the opportunity to work with in my 20 years in the ad industry, her attention to detail and organization always allows for a frictionless post-production workflow and a prolific output. Walking the delicate balance between client, stakeholder and creative departments is not an easy task. But Kelly ensures that every project reaches its finish line on time, and that everyone involved is valued and seen for their contributions."

    Ethan Goldhammer

    Motion and Sound Designer, Hammered Gold LLC

  • "Kelly consistently delivers incredible results, even on the tightest timelines. Her ability to stay calm, focused, and creative under pressure is extraordinary. She brings solutions, not stress, and makes any fast-paced project feel effortless. She’s the secret weapon behind some of the best work I’ve ever been part of. Beyond her incredible production management skills, Kelly understands how video fits into a broader marketing strategy. She combines artistry with business savvy, crafting videos that not only look beautiful but also drive real results."
