The problem

Where the work actually began.

Free ad-supported streaming was a new category when no one yet believed in it. The work was to turn a conviction bet into distribution, audience, and the numbers that make an acquirer stop arguing.

01

Category positioning against a pre-cord-cutting audience.

02

Growth systems built from cold — paid, partnerships, earned.

03

Distribution plays with device and platform partners.

04

Metrics architecture that made the acquisition conversation clean.

Human principal + named agents. The roster lives at /team
