Creative teams on enterprise-tier everything.
Publishers, newsrooms, and content studios run creative stacks (Adobe, DAM, headless CMS) plus the usual office SaaS. The subscriptions compound as editorial teams grow, and most of the core workflows have open source equivalents that do the job. GIMP, Inkscape, Penpot, Ghost, and WordPress self-hosted power serious publications worldwide.

Where the media bleed starts
Three things we hear on every media discovery call.
Adobe Creative Cloud per-seat across the team
Editorial, design, video, social — every role needs a licence. A team of 10 on the full suite is a six-figure annual bill.
DAM and asset management subscriptions
Digital asset management platforms priced per asset or per user. Self-hosted alternatives have no ceiling.
CMS lock-in and migration cost
Years of content trapped in proprietary CMS schemas. Self-hosted WordPress or Ghost uses open formats and exports cleanly.
