(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Digiday, Bose's CMO has not used a creative agency in five years and the brand has launched a new entertainment division, signaling a shift toward owned content production.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the moment you stop hiring an agency and start running a Slack channel with three creators and one in-house editor, your cost per piece drops 60–70% and your velocity increases. You also own the back-catalog forever. For a product brand under $10M in revenue, this means: hire one video editor as a contractor, recruit 2–3 TikTok or YouTube creators to a retainer, run a monthly brief, post twice a week. Budget: $8–12K/month. Agency proposal for the same output: $40K/month. The entertainment IS the ad. Bose did this at scale; you do it at speed.\nWhat that means for you: Bose has reached the size where they can afford to own the studio. You can afford to own a Slack channel. The math is the same: every dollar spent on agency markup is a dollar not spent making content that your audience actually wants to see. Your product is interesting enough — you don't need a creative agency to prove it. You need a camera, a channel, and a brief. Start this week.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/future-of-marketing-briefing-why-bose-is-building-an-entertainment-company/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
