The Owned Media Thesis
Companies should own the media their target customers already choose to consume, not just rent attention from platforms and creators.
Topic hub
Owned media is not a content calendar. It is the part of customer acquisition, category trust, and media IP that a company can actually own.
The useful question is not whether a company should post more. The useful question is what audience it has a right to own, what media asset should exist around that audience, and how that asset can compound instead of becoming another marketing task.

Most companies think of YouTube as a place to post content. I think that undersells what it can actually become.
