Short YouTube transcript (Mike Melton, conversational) criticizing marketing agencies. Mike repeatedly urges people to fire their marketing teams, recounts stopping expensive contracts (mentions $2,500/month and $8,000/month examples), and states he saved one client about $100,000/year. Core claim: many marketing firms lack specific knowledge of a client’s business and customers, so they waste client money.
