Our Story
Started at 13.
Now Producing for Adidas.
In the summer of 2017, Kage McCorkle was a 13-year-old kid in Franklin, Indiana. His brothers Champ and Styles played AAU basketball. Kage started filming their games on his phone and posting highlight clips. He charged $8 per video. His goal was to make $50 a weekend.
He couldn't drive, so he hired his first employee just to get rides to tournaments. He passed out business cards at AAU events.
Today, Mack Media Co. is a 12+ person production company working with Adidas, Gatorade, ESPN, the Big Ten Conference, and the CFB National Championship — with a perfect 5.0 rating and The Knot Best of Weddings 2026 award.
