The company also uses direct sales, account management, and channel partners to reach mid-market and enterprise customers while keeping a self-serve acquisition path for smaller users.
More creators and users increase engagement, monetization, and platform relevance.

Cloud subscriptions add a recurring revenue stream and broaden the business beyond media.
Multiple acquisition paths can lower customer acquisition friction and widen reach.
