“Regardless of what industry you’re in, if you are in business in the 2020s, you’re in the video business.” – Colt Briner
Given the statistics below, it’s pretty clear that video is a critical component of modern-day marketing, but not all videos are created equal and not every great video needs to cost a fortune. Getting scrappy is the key.
Taking examples from Hollywood, the hugely iconic film Pulp Fiction cost just $8 million to produce and earned $214 million worldwide. Napoleon Dynamite was created for just $400,000 and made over 100X that at the box office. On the other hand, the 2012 sci-fi flop John Carter cost $263 million and posted a staggering $122 million loss.

Is car insurance funny? Nope! At least not inherently so. Insurance is one of the most boring, wonkish subjects imaginable and, for the most part, people only deal with insurance companies during unfortunate and difficult moments in life – it’s anything but funny. And yet Geico, State Farm, Farmers and All State are responsible for some of the funniest commercials in modern marketing. How? By focusing on personality, a core principle of Scrappy marketing.
