In this brand-new episode I am thrilled to introduce you to an incredibly talented individual, Craig Helen, the owner of Bexmedia.\xa0

Since 2007, Bexmedia has been pushing the boundaries in video production, motion graphics, and 3D animation, and today we dive deep into their remarkable journey.

\xa0

\xa0In our conversation, we explore how Bexmedia embraces cutting-edge video technologies to visually enhance their clients\u2019 messages and engage with a wide variety of industries. Craig shares his insights on why understanding technical products is vital for effective communication in marketing.\xa0

But what's more fascinating is how Bexmedia\u2019s small but agile team has become their very own niche in the market!\xa0

As a growing SME, they\u2019ve faced their share of challenges and talk how they have got over them.\xa0

From struggling to manage a creative team due to their disorganized and enthusiastic nature, to the importance of building a network of external resources for growth - the raw honesty in this conversation is both relatable and inspiring.\xa0

Plus, we\u2019ll touch on their unique approach to hiring and fostering personal connections, plus offering work experience.\xa0

I can\u2019t wait for you to hear the nuggets of wisdom Craig brings to the table, so get ready to be both entertained and enlightened! Now, let's go and listen to Craig.
