Linslow Industries
I run a small consulting practice focused on media and entertainment.
After 20 years building content partnerships at Meta, Yahoo, and New Form, I help creative companies, platforms, and investors navigate the business of content.
What I do
- Deal Advisory - Structuring and negotiating content deals
- Creator Analytics - Building dashboards and frameworks that drive decisions
- Media Investment - Due diligence and strategy for content investments
How I work
- Direct access (no layers, no account managers)
- Clear scope (no surprise bills)
- Selective engagement (I say no more than yes)
Career Arc
Meta/Facebook (2019-2023)
Head of a new division focused on creator partnerships. Built analytics infrastructure. Left when it was time.
New Form (2014-2019)
Co-founded a digital entertainment studio. Ron Howard and Brian Grazer on the board. Raised Series A and B. Sold to Discovery/WarnerMedia.
Yahoo (2006-2014)
Various roles in content partnerships during the platform's long decline. Learned how big companies make decisions (slowly) and how deals actually get done.

What I'm Good At
- Translating between creative people and business people
- Building systems that create visibility into what's working
- Knowing when a deal is actually good (not just big)
- Saying "I don't know" and then figuring it out
