To Win Brands in 2026, You Have to Know How They Think

If you can’t speak their language, deliver what they need to prove internally, and package yourself the way they buy — you’re not getting the deal. Period.

Brands Are Spending Billions. Why Aren’t They Spending It With You?

Most creators and properties pitch follower counts and total views — vanity metrics that mean nothing to a brand’s media plan. They make up pricing instead of working against the CPMs, eCPMs, and industry standards that brands and agencies actually model on. They follow up once when the buying cycle takes six months. And they leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table because nobody taught them how the other side of the transaction actually thinks.
