Now you've got these disparate teams trying to do things and you actually have increased brand risk with more volume because there's less control over the brand and that brand equity that you've got attached to it. I mean, Cisco in particular has, you know, brand measurements. Yes. There's quite a few out there has a pretty strong brand has a pretty controlled brand.

I think it goes to how confident you are in the brand image that you're trying to convey. If you aren't confident, I can see some benefit to going out there and seeing what kind of lands.
