BROKKEN MEDIA HORIZONTAL LOGO-5_edited.png

Based in Normal, Illinois, Brokken Media is a video and marketing company serving businesses, brands, and content creators in the Bloomington-Normal and Central Illinois area. We specialize in creating high-quality professional video content including commercials, promotional videos, testimonials, instructional videos, and event coverage designed to grow your brand. Our studio is equipped with expert lighting, camera gear, and a skilled crew. At Brokken Media we aim to lift up our community by meeting them where they are at regarding their video, social media, and marketing needs. Research shows that; 83% of consumers want to see more videos from brands they love, 91% of consumers say video quality impacts their trust in a brand and 78% of consumers prefer to learn about brands through short videos (Wyzowl. [2025]. Video Marketing Statistics 2025 [11 Years of Data]).

Yet, most companies do not have the resources or experience required to optimize their digital marketing. This lack of resources often results in companies reaching a stagnant state that holds them back from achieving their goals.  That's why Brokken Media is ready and committed to supplying local business with the expertise required to take advantage of digital marketing in a easily accessible package. No confusing jargon or social media smarts required. Because a company's limits shouldn’t be defined by their ability to reach customers, but instead by the excellence they supply to their customers.

We also offer a First Project Guarantee, so if you don't love it, you don't pay. This takes away some of the risks clients may incur as they explore options for their business's digital marketing. Marketing in the digital sphere is intimidating, and we want to eliminate factors that may be holding our clients back from making the leap into the digital marketing game. The growth they will experience is well worth it, and we want to supply everyone with the opportunity to grow.

Lastly, we believe the key to developing quality visual media for business lies in attention to detail and the value of personal ingenuity. This means that our clients are taking home real content made in house by our team, not by generative AI. A study ran by NIQ, "suggest that AI-generated ads may create a negative halo effect that could dampen consumer perceptions of both the ad and the brand (NIQ. 2024b. NIQ “Research uncovers hidden consumer attitudes toward AI-generated ads.” NIQ. December 12)."

With these factors in mind, we have developed an artificial intelligence policy that we strictly adhere to.

The future is looking bright for the team here at Brokken Media. We have so much support from our clients and our community, the path forward is clear.

We are here to stay and we have more to offer our clients, current and future. We are dedicated to creating jobs in our community for young creatives, lifting up our local non-profit organizations by giving them the resources required to have a strong online presence, and growing our studio space to expand the services we offer. All while adhering to our principles. We want you to succeed, and we are ready to make your projects a reality, supporting you every step of the way, start to finish.

What does

Full-Service Mean?

Brokken Media is a full-service video production company, meaning they handle every step of the creative and production process from A to Z. From concept development and scriptwriting, to filming, editing, graphics, and final delivery, they take care of everything so clients don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors. What sets them apart is that they have their own in-house production crew, giving them control over quality, timelines, and creative consistency. Unlike other local video production companies that might outsource crew or rely on freelancers, Brokken Media keeps the entire process internal ensuring every project is handled professionally, efficiently, and with a cohesive vision.

Meet The Owners

Ethan and Reace Brokken are the husband-and-wife team behind Brokken Media. The two were married on May 31, 2025, and have since continued to grow both in life and business together.

As Creative Director, Ethan leads the vision behind Brokken Media’s projects. His interest in video production began when he was a kid, experimenting with cameras and storytelling long before it became his career. Today, that same curiosity and passion drive his work, helping businesses create videos that not only look great but also make an impact.

Reace, Brokken Media’s Operations Manager, brings a strong artistic eye and a natural sense of organization to every project. She’s been passionate about art and creativity since childhood, and she channels that energy into designing workflows and creating client experiences that feel seamless and personal.

Together, Ethan and Reace partner with clients from start to finish; blending creativity with strategy to produce authentic, high-quality content.

 

Their shared goal is simple: to make the process of creating video content enjoyable for everybody.

What is our policy on using

Artificial Intelligence?

At Brokken Media, we value transparency, quality and above all human creativity.

 

As a locally owned small business we believe that the greatest thing about us as a service provider is the ability to understand our clients' needs from start to finish. 

We believe it is our client's best interest to use our skills and talents to heighten their brand quality, and not cheapen it through the use of AI.

We do not believe AI generated content is a reasonable replacement for the customer service or production quality we aim to provide. We recognize AI software as a helpful tool to assist in our creative process, not a solution or replacement for real human creation and collaboration. Moving forward, all designs, deliverables and content will be finalized only from our own talents and creativity.

 

If at any point you have concerns or questions related to the use of AI generated content in our work, please do not hesitate to reach out.
