I think they want both, both. They want our ad dollars, to be clear. And they want brands' ad dollars. So one way to get at it is to make it about the individual that a brand is investing in that's a creator. That only works so much.

But I think the experience doesn't come off that way because a lot of brands don't know how to balance the two.

We see it in two ways. For me, when we say this inside of Digitas, at some point Mr. Beast needed an agency. So how do we become the agency of the YouTube creator that now grows up, right?
