—  About

Whitney Cusack is an Executive Producer and Filmmaker based in Chicago.

Whitney Cusack is an Executive Producer, Filmmaker, and Creative Consultant whose work lives at the intersection of brand storytelling, film, and cultural impact.

With over 15 years of experience leading high-stakes productions for global brands—including Nike, StatusPro, lululemon, Metro by T-Mobile, TRESemmé, and Bank of America—Whitney has built a reputation for crafting visually striking, emotionally grounded stories that move audiences and elevate brands. Her work spans award-winning campaigns, documentary storytelling, and original content development for both digital and broadcast platforms.

As the founder of Reelistic Media, Whitney partners with brands, agencies, and creators to produce content that blends creative integrity with measurable results. Every project she leads—whether a national campaign or an intimate short film—is rooted in purpose, precision, and people-first storytelling.

Currently completing her Master’s in Cinematic Production Management, Whitney is expanding her footprint into television and film, bringing the same excellence, empathy, and strategic vision that have defined her advertising career. Her creative philosophy is simple: great stories don’t just sell—they heal, connect, and shift culture.

Passionate about mentorship and representation, Whitney actively champions women and emerging creatives in production, offering workshops and mentorship programs that build pathways for underrepresented talent.

To put it simply, she loves what she does—and it shows in every frame.
