The Three Problems

You only feel
the first one.

01

The Symptom

“Lead flow is lumpy, and outbound isn't converting.”

The number you watch: cost per qualified lead
02

The Business Problem

“We can grow — but only by spending proportionally more.”

The number you don't watch: pipeline that exists only while you pay
03

The Strategic Problem

“We have no direct relationship with our own market.”

The number nobody calculates: enterprise value at the same revenue

You're being sold solutions to the first problem. The third one is why it keeps coming back.

See exactly where this shows up in your numbers.

The Board-Level Frame

Marketing expense,
or owned asset?

Rented

  • Resets to zero on pause
  • No transferable asset at the end of the term

Owned

  • Yours, exportable any time
  • Pipeline first, sponsor income on top

We're not asking for incremental budget — just to redirect what you already spend into the version that accumulates.

Redirect your budget into the version that compounds.

Not a Subscriber Count

The strongest proof isn't a stat.
It's what a real buyer does with his own money.

A VP of Marketing at a B2B SaaS company evaluated this with his employer's budget. Then he paid for a second, personal property with his own money.

2Separate engagements, same buyer
0Equity, referral fees, or incentives

Converts to a measurable event — webinar registrations — so it reports against pipeline, not impressions.

You own the audience.
We run the infrastructure.

The file is yours — exportable in full, anytime. The infrastructure is ours — which is why deliverability holds and your primary domain never touches risk. Leave, and you take the file, the data, and the relationships. You don't take the engine.

The Perimeter

What “Media Arm”
Actually Means.

The test is simple: if it touches your subscriber file — or the spend that feeds it — it is ours.

01

We Run

The whole engine.

The seven engines end to end. Editorial operations. Deliverability, domains, sending. Paid acquisition (optional, lead-gen only). Reporting and QBRs.

02

We Orchestrate

You make it. We make it pay.

Existing YouTube channels, existing podcasts, existing social followings — all monetized through the Ad Network, commission-only.

03

You Keep

Net-new production.

Video shooting and editing, podcast production, original social creative. We decline these deliberately — production is labour that does not compound.

A narrow perimeter is why the guarantees are possible. We only promise outcomes on work we control.

Get exact scope for your channels.

What You Already Own

Already have a podcast?
Bring it.

The newsletter is the asset of record. Everything you already publish plugs into the same engine on day one.

01

Your Podcast

Guests booked. Sponsors sold.

Audience-to-Interview™ books your exact buyers as guests, sourced from the same ICP data. The desk sells the show’s sponsorship alongside the newsletter’s.

02

Your YouTube Channel

Inventory the desk sells today.

Pre-roll, mid-roll and integration placements go on the rate card from month one, and every video is rerun to the newsletter audience.

03

Your LinkedIn Newsletter

One issue, two surfaces.

Subscriber-to-Network™ reruns every issue natively to your LinkedIn audience, and sponsorships carry across both editions.

04

Your Events

The registration engine.

Webinars, dinners and summits fill from the owned audience, and event sponsorship is sold by the same desk — the highest revenue-per-subscriber lane in B2B media.

We write the content, book the guests, distribute every edition and sell the sponsorships — one engine, end to end, across everything you publish.

See how your existing channels plug in.

Three questions.
Yes to all three and this works.

The Fit Check

  • Is one new client worth more than $30,000?
  • Is your budget $1M+, or are you growing 30%+ a year?
  • Will you publish weekly — we write it, or we coach and score yours?

Not a Fit

  • Pre-revenue or founder-funded companies
  • No defined B2B ICP, or a consumer play
  • Expecting hundreds of leads in month one
  • Won't publish weekly or work to a standard
  • Needs net-new video or podcast production
  • Verified addressable market under ~50,000 contacts

Where you land — $15M+: the program, $15,000 · Multi-brand: Enterprise, from $25,000 (12-month minimum) · Under 50K TAM: not the fit.

Who's Behind This

Aram Taghavi,
Founder & CEO.

Employee #2 at Bisnow Media — grown to $15M revenue, sold for $50M, recently resold for reportedly near double. Now building OPTIN as infrastructure: a media ecosystem across 2M in qualified circulation, with an ad desk built from a team that had already closed $1M in sponsorship sales before joining.

“I've spent my career inside this exact model — audience first, then the revenue on top. Twice.”

The Next Step

A 45-minute diagnostic call.

You leave with three deliverables, whether or not you engage us:

Common Questions

Before you apply.

What does this cost?

$15,000/month. $30,000 to start (build fee + first month). First quarter totals $60,000, billed monthly. After the initial 3-month term: $15,000/month, month-to-month, no escalator — exit at the end of any month, keep the file and panel roster. Enterprise — for multi-brand organizations needing category exclusivity and a named GM — is priced by scope from $25,000/month, 12-month minimum.

What if we miss the growth milestone?

We keep working at no additional charge until it's hit. That's written into the agreement, not a verbal promise.

Why don't you report open rates?

Apple made open rates unreliable in 2021. We won't report against a metric we know is inflated — we report against clicks and verified engagement instead.

Do we own the subscriber file?

Yes. It's built on isolated infrastructure in your name, and you can export it at any time — during the engagement or after.

Is this a fit if we don't publish content yet?

Yes. Our editors can write and manage the newsletter for you — done-for-you, included in the fee. Prefer to write it yourself? We'll score three recent issues against our quality bar before we start.

What happens on the call if we're not a fit?

We'll tell you directly. We turn down more than we take, because the guarantees only hold when the fit is right.
