THE POWER OF BRANDING
Why I’m Building Two Brands Under One Roof
As a video production professional, I’m passionate about helping businesses and organizations tell their stories in ways that resonate with their audience. Recently, I made an exciting move to expand my company’s reach by creating two distinct brands under the same roof: Nick Vago Productions (NVP) and Guardian Films.
​
Here’s why I’m doing this—and why branding matters so much for any business.
Why Two Brands?
Nick Vago Productions is my core brand. It’s built on years of experience helping businesses grow through high-quality corporate video production and strategic storytelling. It’s where I’ve earned 20+ 5-star reviews and built a reputation for delivering results that help businesses connect with their ideal customers.
​
But as I started working with police, fire, and military organizations, I realized these clients have specific needs that go beyond traditional corporate strategies. They wanted a video partner who understands their culture, rank structure, and chain of command—someone who respects their mission and knows how to tell their stories with the professionalism they deserve.
​
That’s why I launched Guardian Films—a video production company built specifically for first responders. Guardian Films is a certified Veteran-Owned Small Business backed by the SBA, and it’s designed to serve the unique needs of police, fire, and military organizations with mission-driven storytelling.
What’s the Benefit of Separate Brands?
When you build separate brands for different audiences, you’re creating a focused experience that speaks directly to their needs. It’s all about showing people, “Hey, I get you.”
For example:
​
Nick Vago Productions speaks the language of businesses, focusing on growth, visibility, and corporate video strategies.
​
Guardian Films speaks the language of first responders, emphasizing professionalism, integrity, and a deep understanding of their organizational culture.
​
This approach ensures that each audience feels seen, understood, and valued.
How Are the Brands Connected?
The two brands are connected behind the scenes. They share resources, expertise, and a commitment to excellence, but each has its own personality and voice. This way:
​
Guardian Films benefits from NVP’s creative foundation and history of success.
​
NVP demonstrates its versatility and ability to specialize in diverse fields.
​
And because Guardian Films is a certified Veteran-Owned Small Business, it brings an added layer of trust and respect for the communities it serves.
What Does This Mean for You?
Branding is more than just a logo or a name. It’s about clarity: knowing who your audience is and crafting a message that speaks directly to them. Whether you’re running a local business, launching a product, or building a movement, your brand needs to connect with the people you’re trying to reach.
​
This is the same philosophy I bring to every video project I produce. Every client has a story, and every audience deserves to feel like that story is meant just for them.
The Takeaway
Building separate brands might seem like extra work, but it’s worth it when you want to serve different audiences at the highest level. That’s why I’m so proud of the future of Nick Vago Productions and Guardian Films—and why I bring the same dedication to helping my clients elevate their brands.
