In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Founder & CEO of
Vanquish Media Group,
Chase Friedman.
Chase Friedman, the founder and CEO of Vanquish Media Group, talked about the world of strategic brand marketing and development and how purpose-driven organizations can profit with purpose.
Chase's journey began in the realm of independent filmmaking, where he honed his skills in storytelling. However, he soon realized that even the most compelling story could fall flat without the right deployment and connection to the audience. This revelation led him to create Vanquish Media Group. This company focuses on creating great content and storytelling and using digital marketing tools and techniques to ensure that the message reaches and impacts the audience.
Chase finds the most joy in working with small to medium-sized businesses and thought-leader entrepreneurs. He enjoys getting involved with the CEO, founder, and executive team, as they tend to be agile, nimble, and transparent. He prefers working with smaller companies because it allows him to make a more significant impact and bring about foundational change and clarity.
