May 27, 2021. Many could argue that the world we live in was built on capitalism and a drive to pursue profit above all else.

Nick Stagge is the CEO of VidArmy, a video production company that makes professional grade content accessible to companies of all sizes. VidArmy's mission is to make branded videos affordable and easy, and it produces videos for as low as $499. Before joining VidArmy, Nick worked at GoPro, Skullcandy, and Zumiez. He is also the host of The Ordinary Podcast, as well as a Partner of Forbes Ignite and a Contributor to Utah Business. In this episode… Without a doubt, the use of an engaging brand video goes a long way when marketing a product or service. In recent years, more companies and individuals have embraced the use of promotional videos—not just in mainstream channels like TV advertisements, but also through social media and e-commerce websites. However, the cost of producing quality videos is often beyond the reach of many small and mid-sized companies. That's because most video production agencies charge a small fortune to produce a single video, and these costs increase substantially when multiple videos are required. To solve this problem, Nick Stagge and his team at VidArmy have created a solution that makes it easier to produce quality videos at an affordable price. In this week's episode of the Buy Box Experts podcast, host Eric Stopper interviews Nick Stagge, the CEO of VidArmy, about his company's video production process and innovative business model. Nick talks about VidArmy's low pricing compared to other companies, the importance of finding the “why” behind your business, and how to effectively handle mental health issues in the workplace. Stay tuned.
