Stage 32 Certification Featured in Inc. Magazine

Hey, Creative Army!

We had another fantastic mention in a recent Inc. Magazine article, "Lead With What Your Clients Need", featuring Stage 32 Certification as a prime example of how you can identify a need and then work to create a solution.

This truly means so much to me. Stage 32 Certification is a culmination of so much passion and hard work. When I initially had the idea to create an alternative to traditional film school, I didn't quite know what that would look like. So we buckled down and did the research, talked to as many people as possible, asked as many questions as we could think of, and then started brainstorming. Seven years later, I couldn't be prouder of what we've created as a pathway for creatives all over the world to work towards their goals in a more attainable and affordable way.

An Excerpt From Inc.:

Seek Simple Yet Innovative Inspiration

Working in a creative field requires just that -- creativity. But sometimes, that creativity can take us down the wrong path, leading to bloated budgets and content that doesn't align with the brand.

Instead of looking for the next viral video idea, research a niche customer problem and provide a solution. Stage 32, a global online community and app designed to connect people from all parts of the entertainment industry, did just that when it noticed film schools failed to provide students with relevant training and certifications.

As part of its research, Stage 32 spent seven years speaking with industry experts and film school students to uncover problems facing the industry. The results? Enormous student loan debt, a skills gap shortage for on-set jobs, global worker availability, and a rapidly changing environment of production and expansion. Armed with this information, Stage 32 tapped into its network of industry professionals to create Stage 32 Certification, courses in multiple disciplines designed to provide people with the universal skills to work on film or TV production as it exists at the current moment.

Marketing works in the same way. We conduct research by tapping into our social listening skills, reviewing the competition, and tuning into consumer search intent data to find out what our audiences are looking for, marketing solutions in ways that show our audiences we have exactly what they need.
