The free 16-page guide shows the six layers of an in-house media operation, why five lose value, and how to calculate the cost of footage your team cannot find or reuse.
Written for Heads of Content, Creative Directors and Production Leads running in-house teams: the people who own the footage but didn't sign up to run storage infrastructure.
If your team has more than 50 TB, more than five people touching media, and a nagging sense that nobody could find last year's shoot without asking one specific person, this was written for you.
Gear depreciates. Software gets more expensive. Knowing what you have, where it is, and how to get it is the one asset that appreciates.
Four components, every input disclosed, with a worked example for a twelve-person team. Wage inputs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics; the behavioural inputs are yours to supply, because no rigorous independent research on them exists.
Every acquisition, shutdown and forced migration in the tooling a content team actually uses, from Screenlight going dark to Vimeo losing most of its staff two months after its $1.38B sale closed.
Their own words: the customer videos will remain unaffected; the asset metadata will be deleted. The media survived. The index didn't.
Gear depreciates and software gets more expensive every year. The footage you already own is the one thing that gets more valuable, because it keeps getting easier to find while it sits still.
Storage tiers, 3-2-1-1-0, what each network tier actually carries, and where AI indexing is genuinely solved.
Including the widely-repeated statistics we refused to use, and why each one fails when you check it.
Every figure is sourced, and the guide is explicit about which numbers we refused to use.
